This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles, Kat and the returning Josh talk everything that happened this week including frickin' Halo coming to PlayStation in 2026, Microsoft begging Phil Spencer to create 30% 'accountability margins' in order for them to be successful.

Kat has been rather busy this week but did find time to play Plants v Zombies Replanted on PS5, Miles has unfortunately had a sad time with Jurassic World Evolution 3 and so in his misery bought Ninja Gaiden 4 to cheer him up and it certainly did the trick.

We also talk Marathon after it got an indefinite delay and the Death Stranding 2 reviews. Oh, and Charlie Cox has talked Expedition 33! So we talk about that game. Again. Ah well, it's amazing.

In Game of the Week, Josh has dipped his toe in Mike Bithell's latest, Tron Catalyst whilst Miles (and Josh) has been playing a whole of Sloclap's Rematch, which is proving to be quite the popular game amongst the Finger Guns clan. Rossko finishes off by talking about Architecture Life and his own experience of Rematch. I wonder how many times I can write Rematch. Rematch. Rematch? Sorry...

Is PlayStation Plus genuine value for money anymore?

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 20:46:15 GMT

This week - Konami remaking Silent Hill 1! Mindseye being a bit naff and we discuss our PlayStation Plus tiers and see if we think we're making the most of them as Sony raise the price higher and higher.

Josh has spent the week playing The Alters, which is pushing for that Game of the Year spot (which is to say it's rather excellent), Miles Thompson has fallen deeper in love with Rematch and is trying to get the most out of Elden Ring Nightreign, Kat has multiple games on the go including the new season of Fortnite and that Horizon Zero Dawn remaster now she has a PS5 Pro whilst Rossko has been filling up his camper van in er, Camper Van: Make It Home. Unpacking in a tiny van? Yeah, that's what we like.

The 300th Episode! Featuring Chris Scullion and Ethan Lawrence

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 22:08:17 GMT

Episode 300. We made it. Can you believe it? We certainly can't. Still! No time to wonder how on earth we got here (it's because of you, and we're incredibly grateful). Joining Rossko, Kat and Miles are our old friends, VGC's Chris Scullion and actor, writer, podcaster legend Ethan Lawrence, as is tradition to commemorate this momentous occasion and talk the weeks news. Also, it's the week of the Switch 2 release and a weekend of gaming showcases so we talk hype levels for both, what we'd like to see and what t-shirt Phil Spencer will be wearing this time. Spoiler - it might just shake you to your very core.

In Game of the Week Miles talks lovingly about the Rematch beta and talks not-so-lovingly about Elden Ring: Nightreign. Kat has finally got into Balatro and it's very much not letting go. Ethan finally shares his love for the almighty Expedition 33, Chris has seen the light and admits that Fortnite is freakin' fantastic whilst Rossko gets colourful about the cracking Spray Paint Simulator.

Boy we timed this well didn't we? Almost as if we left the podcast a week just so such a thing occured. Weird?!

Welcome back to Look For The Light!

The Marathon Controversy - Is It Already Over For Bungie?

Mon, 19 May 2025 20:41:30 GMT

This week Rossko, Josh and Kat talk all about the Marathon plagiarism controversy and how Bungie get themselves out of this particular corner. It's not looking good. Still! On a lighter note we discuss the possibility of a shiny new Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster coming to modern systems (including Switch 2) and find we would prefer another Rockstar classic remastered instead. Oh, and there's an AI Darth Vader in Fortnite. SAG-AFTRA aren't happy. I wonder why?!

Kat has been fully addicted to the almighty Phasmophobia and has finally started and finished Life is Strange 2.

Game Leaks and Trailer Peaks

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:22:02 GMT

I am back from the casual crew seats and once again have made it to the tippy-top of the hosting chair in this week's episode. With a dearly missed Ross, we have Miles and Kat back alongside Sean for the second week running - aren't you lot lucky? Assassin's Creed: Shadows is out there, in the shadows of Facebook Marketplace so be diligent in avoiding those spoilers for a whole month.

Miles breaks down the plethora of what he's been playing courtesy of Steam Next Fest, whilst trying not to break down himself. Sean and Kat meet eye to eye with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and I cry and rage at the extent of how much Phasmaphobia scares the pants off me.

All of that and more in this subtly chaotic podcast where we try not to let on that it's late, but I think we failed.

The PSN outage and the demand for compensation

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 20:50:22 GMT

This week on the pod it's only Miles and Rossko so the famed duo talk everything they've missed (sorry it's a little late) ahead of Sony's State of Play that's totally happening after they finish recording. Ugh.

Still, it's not all doom and gloom as the sexiest duo in the podcast game discuss Elden Ring Nightreign's release date, Alan Wake 2 finally seeing green in the profits and our main topic for the night, the PSN outage and how it created a band of demanding little entitled turds to start throwing their weight around demanding the world from Sony. Are they right? Will the demand for free stuff for a minor inconvenience ever cease? Why do Sony even bother at all?

Thankfully despite the outage we still managed to play a ton of games this week with Rossko checking out Two Point Campus with the console mods, a little bit of Far Cry New Dawn and the Monster Hunter Wilds beta whilst also learning the true nature of Tropico in Tropico 5 and Miles has been playing Gori: Cuddle Carnage, a whole lotta Phasmophobia on console along with the almighty Stanley Parable Deluxe Edition and Blood Bar Tycoon. Oh, and Miles also talks his progress so far in Civilization VII. GAMES!

Forza comes to PlayStation.

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:33:56 GMT

This week we discuss the big news that Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation this year. What does this mean for Xbox owners? Will it be cross-progression? How does this affect PlayStation as a whole? Xbox's live service games are seemingly dropping elsewhere one by one, will this fill the gap PlayStation has cleared after cancelling theirs? We ponder a fair few questions with what could come next.

In Game of the Week, Josh has been playing Citizen Sleeper 2 and replaying Cyberpunk 2077 for the eighth(!) time, Kat has been having a right laugh playing the new Jackbox collection, Rossko has been playing Elden Ring, yeah we can't believe it either and Miles can finally talk about the month he's had playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

This week on the pod - the podcast we weren't going to do but hey! Here we are, gosh aren't you lucky - Rossko and Kat have a date night talking all about video game news. Erm, there isn't much so we end up talking what trailers we may expect to see at The Game Awards this year and debate if Keighley now has enough pull to get a GTA VI trailer for the show..

Talking of GTA, Kat and Rossko debate their GTA VI wishlists and why publishers are scared to announce dates for their games because they don't want GTA to trample on them. But why? We debate having faith in your product against fighting against the Goliaths.

In Game of the Week Kat has been playing a fair bit of Among Us and jumping back into her game of the year I Am Future whilst Rossko has cracking whips in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the cosy yet overwhelming Overthrown, currently in early access.

In Game of the Week this week Miles talks Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Kat has been disappearing into Life is Strange: Double Exposure whilst Rossko has explored the wild wild west in Red Dead Redemption on PC and dropped into the Chapter 2 Remix map in Fortnite. Obviously.

No more Spider-Man 2 content from Insomniac Games?! God of War TV show may be in trouble but at least Xbox has some trailers this week

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 05:00:10 GMT

Welcome everyone to another instalment of The Finger Guns Podcast, slightly different this episode as it's me, Josh, taking over the podcasting duties this week. Rossko has had an injury which has meant a short stay at the hospital over the weekend; he's fine overall but maybe send him some well wishes to show he's missed!

And boy have we missed him. With me hosting you've got a slightly chaotic and chopped up intro to start but we bring it all back for the news. Insomniac Games have confirmed no more Spider-Man 2 content, God of War's TV show for Amazon Prime is doing a U-turn and oh yeah, we talk about Xbox's Partner Preview that went down last week.

I also get to eat some humble pie with Miles' game of the week and we've had a ball with this month's Steam Next Fest. I'm sorry but maybe you're also welcome for this week's episode. Enjoy!

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 20:18:49 GMT

We're back! Finally after a week off (sorry) the gang are back together as Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh return to talk the weeks news including Alien Isolation 2, Halo moving to Unreal 5, Microsoft asking devs why they don't like Xbox and Metal Gear Solid Delta mixing it up with their difficulties. It's been quite a week of news and it's been good to get back and wax lyrical about it once again. We missed you guys.

In Game of the Week, Josh has been checking out the Bloober Team remake of Silent Hill 2 and is absolutely hype about it, Kat has checked out the really rather lovely fairytale sim Fabledom. Miles, naturally, has played a whole bunch including Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster which has turned out super good along with the latest indie darling RPG / Pokelike Necro Story. Oh and Rossko gets mad about FC25, cus it's balls.

Also yes we now we're hours out from the State of Play but we couldn't record any other time. We're very sorry.

Is Shadow of the Erdtree too hard? Oh, and Fire Sticks are getting Xbox Game Pass!

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:09:32 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're back to our nonsense talking the latest game news and quizzes and what we're playing and all the stuff that you love. Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk the difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree, Xbox Game Pass coming to Amazon Fire Sticks and Konami staff wanting Kojima back for good.

In Game of the Week Josh (and Miles) have been checking out the Valorant PS5 Beta (and well, it's very good...), Miles has been playing the terrible The Sinking City but keeps going back to it even though it's terrible (who is writing this anyway?) while Kat has dropped 27 hours into Red Dead Redemption 2 after Miles made her play it. Nice Miles. Nice. Oh, and Rossko has fallen back in love with the gorgeous Tetris Effect.

Josh is recommending not going to The Trafford Centre as it's a 's***hole', apparently. Ugh. Miles leans into recommending House of Leaves, which is a book. Weirdo. Oh and Kat recommends an app called Family Wall, which is an app for couples to organise a sharedlist. We're here for the people folks.

Also Rossko is the head of a new kind of quiz this week which hopefully gets you thinking / screaming at your podcast playing devices. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Embracer drop the axe on yet another studio, Sea of Thieves has ruled the PlayStation seas

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 20:23:43 GMT

After last weeks showcase shenanigans we're back on traditional podcast duty talking the weeks biggest news including Nintendo returning with a shiny new Direct showcase (though no mention of their new console is confirmed). What on earth have they got up their sleeve to show us? We're a little dumbfounded so it's gonna be a hugely interesting show.

Elsewhere Embracer have closed Alone in the Dark remake studio Pieces Interactive after 'disappointing sales'. Are games really selling poorly or are expectations too high?

Finally we talk Sea of Thieves and how it's ruling the PlayStation seas in the US and Europe.

In Game of the Week Kat has been checking out the PlayStation edition of Sea of Thieves and it may have turned into a slight obsession. Josh has been finally playing the absolute banger that is Persona 3 Reload, Miles has smashed out the very 'Miles' game V Rising. whilst Rossko has been checking out some Steam Next Fest demos such as The Alters, Parcel Corps and well, Building Relationships. Yikes.

And in recommendations Kat talks The Last Campfire, Josh recommends a documentary about real estate developer Robert Durst, whilst Miles recommends sea-faring horror Still Wakes the Deep.

State of Play Reactions and other things we've missed over the bank holiday

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 19:49:13 GMT

We're back! Huge apologies for missing an episode last week - life very much got in the way for all of us - but now Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh are back and we're talking up all the latest news and catching up on what we missed.

First up we all get our teeth into the State of Play from last week, sharing what we thought our favourite reveals were along with stuff we're surprisingly excited by (apart from Rossko, who goes on quite the existential tangent). We all get a little bit hyped for Astro Bot and wonder what on earth Concord really has to offer anyone. Oh, and the other stuff in between.

We also get into the reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the Game Pass confirmation and the controversy already surrounding the game regarding content. There's a fair bit to get into so we delve in as far as we can without knowing an awful lot. Oh, and Toys For Bob are so obviously making a new Spyro game now that they've confirmed a publishing deal with Xbox. Can you take a guess at who is super excited about that one?

Kat has been checking out Little Hope from the Dark Pictures Anthology, Josh has used his well deserved days off to play cyberpunk roguelite The Land Beneath Us and Miles has finally got his hands on Hades II and well, he likes it alot. Oh, and Rossko has turned on his Xbox and played the glorious Hypercharge Unboxed!

In recommendations Miles has finally seen The Boys (well the first few eps), Josh is recommending a Netflix show called Scavengers Reign, the animation that everyone is talking about and it finally gets to us (we get to all the cool stuff...eventually). Rossko wants everyone in the world to check out the brand new Eminem track and Kat watched most of the new J-Lo film Atlas..but not all of it.

The State of Gaming in 2024 (So Far...)

Tue, 21 May 2024 21:01:13 GMT

This week it's another rough one for news so the gang (the gang being Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh) get together to talk everything 2024 so far and what our highlights and lowlights have been along with our possible Game of the Year so far (hint: we all pick exactly the same one). Whilst it's been a quality year for games so far it's been a very difficult one for the industry, and we do our best to celebrate what those amazing developers have made for us whilst raising a glass to those who have been unceremoniously removed from their jobs along the way.

In our one bit of news (ironically announced minutes after we finished up last week) we talk the announcement of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the brand new iteration of the series and the very first set in Japan. We like what we're hearing so far coming from the Ubisoft camp about this one, so hopefully there's plenty to get excited about in this upcoming entry. Will it get the naysayers back on board? We discuss. Oh, and the traditional question quiz returns and it's absolute bloody chaos from question one as ever. You've missed it, right? Tell us you have, we didn't go through that for nothing, we hope.

In Game of the Week Josh talks about the top down puzzler Paper Trail, Miles has very nearly completed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and tells us all about it (along with the super fun Galacticare) and Kat is back on her Dead by Daylight train whilst Ross is getting hyped for the next season of Fortnite. Who knew?!

In recommendations Kat does NOT recommend watching the Uncharted film (we've been sayin'), Miles recommends POOLS, a game that's not a game but is a game but it's cool (reviewed now on Fingerguns.net!), Josh has been checking out The Curse on Paramount+ whilst Rossko finally gets to talk about Doctor Who for a bloody change and it goes about as well as you can imagine..

Xbox's Horrible No Good Very Bad Week

Mon, 13 May 2024 19:41:48 GMT

We're back once again to talk all things video games and probably Taylor Swift in episode 252 of The Finger Guns Podcast. Join Rossko, Miles and Kat as they dredge through the weeks news which is primarily focused on the fallout of Microsoft huge studio closures from last week and what the hell came next.

First up, Xbox president Sarah Bond came out to try to defend the companies decision to sack hundreds of employees through closing award winning studios and breaking down award winning companies so yeah, there's that. Oh and Xbox announced, the day after closing Tango Gameworks (the one who made BAFTA-winning small game Hi-Fi Rush) that they want to focus on games which are small and award winning. You couldn't make this up, we are truly bereft with Xbox right now. They've certainly fudged around and found out, indeed.

Oh, and there's a third Jurassic Park Evolution on the way and Miles is, weirdly hyped? We find out more. A FLYING T-REX.

In Game of the Week Miles has been playing Dredge and the latest rhythm shooter that we call Robobeat while Kat has stuck out Fallout Shelter for a second week running whilst Rossko has been checking out Crow Country and the wonderful Animal Well.

In recommendations Miles talks up the latest Saw movie, Kat recommends the Natural History Museum (don't get married there though, tis pricey) and Rossko wants everyone check out the demo for the lovely little indie Fishbowl.

Oh, and don't miss Kat's Candy Crush Saga story. It's one for the ages.

So, Xbox have closed Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, Sony backtrack on Helldivers II and what do we want from Resi 9?

Tue, 07 May 2024 21:40:27 GMT

The Finger Guns Podcast returns after a week off with the full team back back back to get into the weeks news and well, there's a fair amount of it this week. First up, a few hours before we recorded Microsoft announced that they have closed Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Redfall's Arkane Austin. We talk about this shocking reveal and what the bloodyhell is going on with Xbox right now and what - if anything - they have planned for the future.

On the other side of the war PlayStation have another rough week culminating in a rather surprising u-turn after the huge backlash of announcing that Helldivers II Steam players will need to have a PSN account in order to keep playing. Sony have announced this will no longer be the case, much to the celebration of gamers around the world. At least 100,000 of them, at least.

We also get into what we'd like to see from Resident Evil 9 and if we really need a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster after the original game is being taken down from PS Plus this month.

In Game of the Week Josh has been checking out Another Crabs' Treasure, Kat has been checking out the glory of Fallout Shelter thanks to the TV show whilst Miles has nerded out in King Arthur Legion IX. Rossko has been checking out Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas (for the first time ever?!) and a glorious little footy RPG called Bang Average Football.

In recommendations Kat talks Queenpins, the Kristen Bell fronted film which is now on Netflix, Miles talks about Hexguardian and Harvest Hunt, a roguelike horror game from the glorious folk at Neonhive. Josh talks about the glorious new film from Alexander Payne, The Holdovers whilst Rossko recommends not watching Strays. Yikes.

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 22:46:17 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns to the hosting chair - after a bit of an altercation with Josh - with Kat, Miles and the returning Yogdog all joining in to get through the weeks news as quick as possible. And boy there is a lot this week.

First up we talk the disappointing sales of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League and the factors that may have made it happen. WB Games are not happy with how well it's done and we try and break down the reasons why (reason one - WB Games).

We also talk the possibility of PSVR 2 becoming compatible on PC's to allow users to play PC VR games. We talk to Josh about this one and it opens an interesting discussion regarding ballooning budgets in games which may have lead to this decision. Well, that and PlayStation are not supporting the device well enough.

We also head back to the Nintendo Director Showcase to work through our highlights and follow that up with the four games Microsoft are bringing to PlayStation in the next few months - namely Grounded, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush.

Oh, and we also get into the brand new DLC trailer for Elden Ring. PHEW!

And in Game of the Week Josh has been playing a hell of a lot more of Helldivers II, Kat played a ton of Detroit: Become Human, Miles has been spreading democracy with Helldivers but also checking out the almighty Terminator Dark Fate Defiance, Yogdog has been playing his favourite game of all time in Battle Brothers whilst Rossko has been getting his PC gaming on in Minecraft?!

Are Xbox are sharing their games whilst PlayStation don't have any this year? Also, no Nintendo Switch 2 till 2025?

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:44:25 GMT

Hello everyone, it's me again, the harbinger of podcast nightmares to once again tell you about this week's episode of the Finger Guns Podcast - but you can call me Josh. This week the gang are back! Discussing the cryptic business lingo Phil Spencer talked at minimal length about the future of Xbox, during their special podcast. Shorter than my solo one last week, just saying Phil.

Moreover, Nintendo Switch 2's launch has been pushed into 2025, along with no major first-party PlayStation releases for this year! How will we all cope? Probably by cleaning up our backlogs that have been tutting at us in the corners of our gaming library for 2 years.

We see the return of Miles' wonderfully whacky picture quiz, the perfect formula for an audio platform. Am I the winner? Silly question, I'm always the winner. Games of the Week include the brilliantly understated puzzle adventure Röki, of course, Helldivers 2, Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. All that, as well as some purr-fect recommendations and more on this week's Finger Guns Podcast!

Is this the first AAAA? What is going on over at Xbox? Where has everyone gone?!

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 22:44:14 GMT

Hi there, everyone. I know it must be weird to see Rossko's name not on the publishing for this. Instead, you have me! Josh, taking over for hosting duties whilst the gang go on a well-deserved holiday. In this episode of the Finger Guns Podcast, I hog all of the games of the week, because it's MY show and I'll talk about as many games that I've played as I want. I talk about the newly anticipated title from Don't Nod, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, and the recent demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and I update everyone on Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

More importantly on the news side of things, Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot claims that the $70 price tag for a game that features live-service elements is warranted. As the game itself is worthy of the AAAA status. What does that mean? I champion Helldivers 2 from a distance in the name of Miles as it breaks Sony's launch number records.

And I thoroughly recommend not taking on a podcast by yourself, always do it with some friends it's probably much better that way. Unless you make enough fuss that this episode is awesome. Inflate my ego, please. Enjoy the latest episode of The Finger Guns Podcast.

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 23:28:40 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh delve into the weeks news (cus that's what we do, init) and share their thoughts on Sony's upcoming State of Play and what we'd like to see along with what we're likely to see and whatnot, get serious (or attempt to) about the huge layoffs from Microsoft and the industry as a whole and how goddamn rubbish it all is and we try to get excited about the rumour that Switch 2 is going to have an 8-inch LCD screen.

This week Rossko, Miles and Josh get to grips with the weeks biggest gaming news including a look back at the Xbox Developer Direct. Are we hyped for Indiana Jones? Well, you're going to have to find out by listening because otherwise why would I bother telling you here? I need you to listen to the podcast for the numbers otherwise they'll cancel it and nobody wants that you see. So please do listen in order to find out the answer to that particular question.

We also delve deep into the madness of Palworld. What on earth is this thing? Where did it come from? How did it generate over six million players in a weekend? Is it simply a Pokemon rip-off? We delve very deep into the wonders of this mysteriously successful game and see if Nintendo have any kind of case here.

Miles has finally been checking out Robocop: Rogue City whilst Josh has been exploring the wonders of Immortality which has just landed on PS5, and Rossko has been playing The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Stumble Guys on Xbox and of course, Fortnite. Shocking really.

Our 2024 Metacritic Predictions Episode! Also, GAME are ceasing trade-ins?!

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 23:37:04 GMT

Back one again with the renegade podcast masters with the ill behaviour...or something? It's The Finger Guns Podcast! And we're back with our 2024 Metacritic Predictions episode which sees us take a wild guess at the final Metacritic scores for this years biggest releases. Join Rossko, Miles, Kat, Josh and Yogdog as we tear through our initial list before adding a bunch later on in the year after they're announced. It's a whole lot of fun.

Elsewhere, Josh has been checking out the cracking Thirsty Suitors and Kat has been thoroughly enjoying the current PS Plus offering Nobody Saves The World. Yogdog has been checking out Against The Storm, Miles has played possibly the worst game Rossko could ever imagine with RTS-top-down-Trebuchet-soldiers-turn-based-strategy title called Lost Eidolons, whilst Rossko himself has played the Prince of Persia: The Last Crown demo and of course, Fortnite. What else is he gonna do. Oh, and UK games retailer GAME are stopping trade-ins! What does this mean for the industry and will they survive without Kev from down the road bringing in a bunch of CoD games to pay for EA FC25?! We discuss.

The Day Before Studio Shuts Down! | The Game Awards 2023 Reaction and Highlights | GTA 6 Trailer

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 22:32:36 GMT

This week on the penultimate episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh get together once again to talk the weeks news including The Day Before studio Fntastic shutting down four days after the release of the terrible, awful, dreadful game that deserves to rot for all eternity. We also talk the biggest announcements at The Game Awards along with the show overall and well, we have some thoughts.

Oh! And we get rather giddy about Grand Theft Auto VI after the early release of that fantastic trailer.

Kat talks the massive new update for Dreamlight Valley and the Chucky DLC for Dead by Daylight, naturally. Miles has been checking out the delightfully charming chess puzzler Chesserama and Josh has been reviewing Arizona Sunshine 2 on PSVR 2 whilst Rossko has been exploring the delights of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and talks up the brand new Fortnite modes.

Kat recommends another hot chocolate as her recommendation, Miles has checked out Anthology of Fear with erm, mixed results...whilst Josh reminds us all to look out for each other and reach out to people as and when you need it (it's super important friends, be sure to check in on each other). Oh, and Rossko recommends Doctor Who, because of course he does.

Enjoy the episode!

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 11:35:35 GMT

On this very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko sits down with our friend Ethan Lawrence to talk absolutely everything there is to talk about his latest televisual project, Boat Story (available now on BBC iPlayer). We get into the spoilery nitty gritty and talk absolutely everything about the show, some behind-the-scenes secrets and we talk about just how nice everyone was on set. Seriously, they were really nice.

It's not a joke when we say spoiler special either, this is a mighty, MIGHTY spoiler special so please DO NOT listen if you haven't seen every single episode and don't want to be spoiled. I mean, you can listen to it if you like but it's gonna ruin the show for you and honestly, you're going to want to into the show as blind as possible as it just makes the whole thing more fun.

Ethan also talks other projects such as his experience on Magic Mike's Last Dance

Enjoy the episode!

Fortnite is back on top | Game Awards Announcements Wishlist | Capcom Say More Resi Remakes Are Coming

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 22:05:18 GMT

THIS WEEK! Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh get together once again to talk the weeks news and, er, there isn't much to talk about so we get into what we think will be revealed at The Game Awards this year and what games we're hoping to see announced! Also, Sega are teasing something and we haven't a clue what they're up to, what could it be?!

Oh, and Capcom are starting the Resident Evil remake hype train once again and we speculate on where they could go next. Will they dare Resi 5 and 6? We speculate (yes, we've done this before but again, it's been a very slow news week considering a certain trailer is dropping today that everyone is avoiding like the actual plague...)

In the Game of the Week Kat has restarted and fallen back in love with Disney's Dreamlight Valley, Miles and Rossko (and Josh, and Kat tbf..) have been having a blast on the new Fortnite Chapter 5 map and Josh has been playing Born of Bread, a cutesy cosy RPG, perfect for this time of year!

In recommendations Josh talks up the wonderful Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as it's bloody superb, Kat reminds us all to download Power Wash Simulator this month on PS Plus, Miles talks up a creepy game called Luto and Rossko plays Karma Zoo and now it's up there as a possible GOTY. Good old Ethan Lawrence!

Enjoy the episode!

Ethan Lawrence Returns! | Sony back in court once again | PlayStation Portal sells out worldwide

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 01:25:34 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast our good friend Ethan Lawrence returns to talk video games, Boat Story and all the weeks biggest news! Well, there isn't much, but we do our best including talking about Sony returning to court to settle whether or not they've overcharging UK PSN owners. If so, we all get money! Huzzah! We'll see what happens.

Elsewhere Bloober Team have come out to say that everything is just fine with the development of Silent Hill 2 thank you very much so you can bloody stop bothering them with your ridiculous Tweets.

Oh, and the PlayStation Portal has sold out worldwide and demand is high. How on earth did that happen? We talk out the success of the Remote Play system and actually learn what the hell the thing does with some surprising revelations.

In Game of the Week Miles has been checking out Last Train Home, Josh has been riding through the glen with Gangs of Sherwood whilst Ethan has been thoroughly enjoying the cracking little multiplayer darling KarmaZoo. Oh, and Rossko fell asleep playing Immortals of Aveum. Greg was right. Don't tell him.

And in recommendations we talk Funko Pops, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, M3GAN, Ethan's own Magic Mike's Last Dance and Rossko goes to bat for Taskmaster - why aren't more people watching it I ask you? Well, he does. And he's definitely not writing this description in the first person.

Enjoy the episode!

The Last of Us Part II Remastered Announced | Spyro Flying Into CTR | KOTOR Remake is dead?

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:32:50 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's been a quiet news week but we've managed to scrape together the news that The Last of Us Part II is getting a remaster and coming in January with a bunch of extra fetures. Is it enough to get us to come back to that mammoth story? And is Rossko gonna buy it just so he can make music with Ellie's guitar? Probably. Elsewhere everyone's favourite dragon Spyro is coming to Crash Team Rumble! Is that enough for fangirl Kat to jump back in? Well, apparently it is and we're probably going to join her. Elsewhere Dragon's Dogma 2 has gotten a possible release date and the Knights of the Old Republic remake is apparently dead in the water. What happened? We suggest some theories.

In Game of the Week Kat has been checking out the rather lovely Sonic Superstars, Miles has been checking out F.E.A.R. (can you tell they've been on the Black Friday PSN sale?), Josh has been time looping in the terrific In Stars and Time whilst Rossko has been ultimately disappointed by Dreamworks All Star Kart Racing.

In our recommendations we talk Lake's lovely DLC Season's Greets which is just more Lake, but Christmas time! Wonderous. Miles recommends not playing The Kindeman Theory, Josh has been checking out Gubbins on mobile whilst Rossko has been thoroughly enjoying TV this week with the brilliant Boat Story on BBC iPlayer and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix.

Enjoy the episode!

The Game Awards 2023 Nominations Chat | Our Dream Grand Theft Auto 6 game | Final Modern Warfare 3 impressions

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 23:58:44 GMT

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast the team (Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh) get into The Game Awards nominations and choose their winners from each category and bemoan the lack of a certain beloved Hogwarts-based video game. There are huge numbers for Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2 whilst the indies are probably the toughest call they've been in years. We do our best to try and choose our winners for each. Oh, and then there's the small matter of Rockstar announcing that they're revealing the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in the first week of December to handle, so we delve into what we'd really like to see from Rockstar's latest behemoth.

In Game of the Week this week we've been primarily getting absurdly bored in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, Rossko has been rocking the masses in this years iteration of Let's Sing, Kat has redownloaded Dead By Daylight after deleting it and Miles has checked out Dungeons 4 and the wonderfully titled Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Say it really quickly four times.

For our recommendations this week Kat is talking velvetisers for hot chocolate, cus why not. Miles concurs. He also recommends Stronghold: Definitive Edition (if you're a NERD) Josh talks the movies he's seen recently, namtely The Killer, Bottoms and Dream Scenario (Nic Cage turns up in everyone's dreams for no reason) while Rossko delved deep into the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix with surprising results.

The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Spoiler Special

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 22:57:45 GMT

At last, join Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh as they talk every single glorious moment from Insomniac's latest, a small game called Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Naturally, this is a spoilertastic conversation so obviously, if you haven't completed the game yet, go complete the game, get the Platinum and then come back and share with us the wonders, the madness and the brilliance of Sony's massive title. It's a little difficult to go into detail about this podcast, purely because it's super deep in spoilerwonderment - the story, the suits, the sidequests, the characters, the easter eggs and so much more, no stone is left unturned (we're pretty sure, anyway...we went as hard as we could).

Come and have a listen! Do we think it's a 10/10 (spoiler for the spoiler; no, not all of us..)? Thank you for listening!

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 22:43:27 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk all the weeks biggest news including the rise of Fortnite and their colossal weekend numbers, the downfall of Call of Duty's terrible MWIII campaign and the possibility of World of Warcraft on consoles. Is there a chance? We don't seem to think so but under Phil Spencer, anything is possible, right?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcaaaaaaaaast (long a's for scary cus Halloween), Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh talk through the weeks news once again and get us all hyped for just what Capcom could be teasing right under our noses to be released before March of next year, talk the disappointing community updates coming from Payday 3 developer Starbreeze and have a glance at the brand new trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to see just how it's coming along from the viewpoint of series superfans Miles and Josh.

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 21:50:58 GMT

Tsk. Them leaks are getting out of hand Druckmann, best get the tape out!

Elsewhere Miles has been checking out the indie pulp horror The Fabulous Fear Machine, Kat's been delving deep into Dave the Diver (one of the years best games), Rossko has begun Phantom Liberty, the much anticipated DLC campaign for Cyberpunk 2077 and Josh has been kicking back with the superb Cocoon.

We also talk Foamstars, EAFC24 from Miles and Rossko (any information that Miles beat Rossko in every match is fabricated and absolute nonsense...honest), Josh talks the NOW TV docuseries Telemarketers (get on it, it's awesome), Kat recommends 2021 Angelina Jolie starring Those Who Wish Me Dead and Rossko talks bingeing the final series of Netflix superhit Sex Education.

VIDEO GAMES!

The Great Xbox Leak | Square-Enix Want To AAA Classic IP | UK Board Approve Activision Takeover

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 22:24:30 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast we rejoice for Xbox having a cracking start with Starfield only to be derailed once again by an enormous data leak which showcased their plans for the next seven years all over the internet. We take a look and despite Phil Spencer downlplaying their significance, well, we get into them anyway and get giddy about what they shared.

We also talk some good news in camp Xbox with the reveal that the UK CMA Regulatory Board have tentatively approved their Activision acquisition, at last. We get excited about this, not only because it means we may no longer have to bloody talk about it.

Also, Square-Enix want to update classic IP to AAA status. What games would we like them to upgrade and well, more importantly, what the hell does that even mean?

In her limited free time Kat has been finally checking out the glorious Powerwash Simulator, Miles has been checking out Dune: Spice Wars and the Ghostrunner II demo (which killed him 25 times in 26 minutes), Josh talks his multiplayer experience with the gang in Payday 3 and Rossko has been checking out the brand new but still the same EA FC24.

We also talk the rather lovely Firewatch as Kat has finally jumped in, Rossko gets excited about Chris Scullion's brand new Dreamcast Encyclopedia, Josh talks wrapping up The Expanse: A TellTale Series, Miles recommends not watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie anytime soon.

State of Play and Direct Reactions Sept 2023 | Unity Backtrack On Percentage Plans | 10 Years of GTA V

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 22:26:20 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and Kat have got together once again to talk everything about the gaming week. First up we talk the cracking PlayStation State of Play and get super excited about Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth now that is has an absolutely storming trailer and a release date to boot! We also talk our highlights of the rest of the show along with getting hype about the end of the Switch's life with the terrific Nintendo Direct that featured some exciting announcements that got us all giddy like Diddy Kong. That was a funny joke, ok? You should laugh at it.

Elsewhere we get deep into Unity's dirty tactics to take a percentage of every game installed made in their engine and the huge uproar of the games industry rallying against it. It's a big deal. We get into it.

Miles has been tearing quite literally tearing fools limb from limb in the brutal and brilliant Mortal Kombat 1, Josh has been checking out the unique and very cool Gunbrella (there's a gun in an umbrella basically...) and Kat and Rossko has been tearing through the almighty Party Animals, coming this week to Xbox and PC!

Miles also manages to finally talk about his time with the glorious text adventure game (I) Doesn't Exist, Kat falls into mobile hell with the 'crappy but fun' Total Battle.

Also, Josh recommends a cookie and Ross recommends a cheesecake. It's business as usual here at The Finger Guns Podcast.

Donald Mustard leaves Epic Games | Stray Gets Movie Adaptation | 'Exciting and New' Titles Coming from Respawn

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 22:49:41 GMT

This week on The FG Pod Kat takes the hosting reigns with Miles, Yogdog and Josh (with a latecoming Rossko, stupid internet issues..) to talk the weeks biggest news including the mighty Donald Mustard leaving his role at Epic Games as Fortnite's Creative Director, the rather lovely Stray game from Annapurna being turned into an animated movie and we ponder what could be next from Respawn EA report 'exciting and new' projects in the works from the Star Wars Jedi studio.

Elsewhere Yogdog and Rossko update the pod on their Starfield progress and what they think so far, Kat, Josh talks Somerville on next-gen consoles, completing the very interesting Goodbye Volcano High and Miles can finally talk about the really rather interesting Desynced which blew Miles' tiny little mind.

Rossko also talks his time with Final Fantasy Ever Tactics on mobile, Josh recommends a bagel in Liverpool, Miles has finally completed Sifu and Kat gets all hype about Olivia Rodrigo. And we talk Taylor Swift, because of course we do. What else you think was gonna happen when Kat's hosting?

Starfield Impressions | Volition Have Closed Their Doors | The Chinese Room Take Over Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 22:20:51 GMT

This week on the FG Pod Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh get together to talk everything about the weeks news along with a certain big release that's taken over Rossko and Yogdogs lives.

In the news we talk the somewhat surprising news that Everbody's Gone to the Rapture developer The Chinese Room has taken over development on Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 after years of trouble and now aims to release the game in fall next year. Are they the right studio to bring it to life? I guess we'll soon find out. Elsewhere The Elder Scrolls 6 is now officially in development now Bethesda have shipped Starfield, but we've still got a long long wait to see anything from the game. We take bets on when we'll see it and if there will be Skyrim Edition of something released before then. There probably will.

We also talk the sad news that Saints Row developer Volition have closed their doors after owners Embracer decided to shut down the studio with immediate effect. Was the writing on the wall after the reception to the Saints reboot? We discuss.

Kat has been checking out The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and turns out she's bloody terrified of being hunted, which is rather funny. Josh has been reviewing Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Miles has been checking out the uber violent and super fun SPRAWL along with Mediterranean Inferno, from the makers of Saturnalia. while Rossko and Yogdog have been playing that new indie on Xbox called Starfield, but we haven't really spoken about it too much...

Enjoy the ep! Also, we're sorry about the delays on Rossko's mic this week. We've tried to cut them down as best we can but there may be one or two we've missed. It's a right pain in the ass and hopefully won't affect next weeks episode.

Starfield Hype Begins! | Xbox Series S Baldur's Gate 3 Missing Features | Switch Has Nearly Outsold PS2

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 22:08:20 GMT

On the enormously positive and not at all misery fuelled (and much more improved than last week...sorry about that one) Finger Guns Podcast this week...oh boy, it's nearly time to turn on our jet engines and tear it into the great unknown with Starfield just around the corner. Our hype levels are at maximum and with Yogdog jumping into early access this weekend, look out for a full analysis of the game on next weeks podcast!

Still, this week still had plenty to offer including the Switch now being only 5 million sales behind PS2 to become the biggest selling console of all time and it this point it's not a case of if but when. We discuss how Nintendo pulled this one off and what it could mean for its successor. Elsewhere we talk Xbox pulling the £1 Game Pass deal off the shelves a week before Starfield and the Xbox version of Baldur's Gate 3 being sliced of features to work on Series S. Is this the beginning of the end for the budget next-gen system? We discuss.

In Game of the Week Yogdog has been checking out the wonders of Homeworld 3 (we got very lucky and checked out the early press only stuffs) and Kat has been playing [REDACTED] which she's absolutely [REDACTED].Oh and she's also Platinumed the awesome DYSMANTLE in, well, you should probably listen to find out. Rossko has been checking out the super fun RPG Wrestlequest and the bloody delightful Station to Station. Kat and Rossko also gush about the brilliant new Fortnite season and how it's a huge improvement to Season 3.

Enjoy the ep!

Opening Night Live Reactions | Microsoft Inch Closer To Acti Deal | MGS Specs Aren't Great...

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 23:48:10 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast we're all absolutely exhausted after failing to get through Gamescom's Opening Night Live without falling asleep (genuinely). Rossko, Miles, Kat, Josh, Yogdog and the returning Toby Andersen get together to talk the highlights of the show and yes, we did find some. No, genuinely! It was a good show, so long as you weren't expecting video games at a particular standard, right?

Anyway, elsewhere in this thrown together podcast we get another darn quiz out of the way and it's absolute chaos as ever but somehow even worse on this one. We also talk the Metal Gear Solid framerate issues on Switch along with Ubisoft being dragged into Microsoft Acti-Blizzard acquisition in order for the CMA to finally get this ridiculously drawn out acquisition over the line at last. Who wins in this situation? Does it make Microsoft look weak?

We'll be back next week with a far more cohesive and planned out episode, promise. This one may have gotten away from us a tad. A bit. A lot. Quite a lot.

Enjoy the ep!

#1 - Helen O'Hara

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 12:46:45 GMT

Welcome to a brand new Finger Guns spin-off podcast - Pin Point! Each episode we'll talk one on one with media and entertainment professionals, whether it be from the game, film or music industry to discuss their careers, how they got started, the highs and lows of the job and their own opinions on the industry.

To kick off then I'm honoured and frankly a little amazed to be joined by an author, a podcaster, a barrister and writer for Empire Magazine among others but most impressively I think, saw the original Broadway cast production of Hamilton with her own eyes, it's Helen O'Hara!

Helen sits down with Rossko (over Zoom, like) to discuss the SAG-AFTRA strikes, the current state of the MCU, getting into the film journalist industry and so much more (including possibly turning for Gal Gadot if you see her in her Wonder Woman costume in the flesh...it's a genuine possibility, we've discovered).

Along with Helen's favourite films, her incredible insight into film journalism as a whole and working with her team for nearly 20 years, it's a fascinating insight into the inner workings of Empire Magazine and many more, and it's well worth a listen if you're at all interested in the film journalism industry as a whole.

Enjoy the ep!

THQ Showcase Highlights - South Park Returns! | MW3 Coming to PlayStation First | Far Cry Has A New Boss

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 22:33:59 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat and Yogdog (with a late coming Miles) get together to talk the weeks news including the highlights of the very good THQ Nordic Showcase, Far Cry getting a new boss, Modern Warfare III demos coming to PlayStation first and a hefty topic discussion on fan expectations vs moving gaming mechanics forwards. Finding the 'essence', as it were. It's a fascinating chat between Yogdog and Kat primarily, and if you're playing BG3 do give it a listen, it may give you a new perspective on how it's being viewed.

No quiz this week as Miles was late coming in but over at Game of the Week Yogdog has been checking out [REDACTED] along with War Thunder! That's right, Yogdog has been playing a game we've all heard of! Incredible times. Kat talks how she's been spending the week saving koch in Save Koch and Rossko talks his middling time with Deck13 Interactive's Atlas Fallen.

We also get into The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rossko finally saw Across The Spider-Verse + Jennifer Lawrence comedy No Hard Feelings. Kat also talks Sarah Chalke TV show Firefly Lane.

In Game of the Week Kat talks her disappointment in Baldur's Gate III, Miles has been checking out the lovely indie Thronefall, Josh has been enjoying the wonders of [REDACTED] and checking out some indie darlings such as Crawl, Nongunz, Slain Back from Hell and Void Bastards. Yogdog has been checking out the new season of Diablo IV and Rossko has fallen deeply in love with the Sea of Stars demo.

And we recommend the rather glorious horror film Talk To Me, Kat talks Barbienheimer after she saw them both this week, Rossko talks his thoughts on Barbie, Miles talks reading a brand new Kojima book and Yogdog recommends some alcohol, cus why hell the not.

This is it, at last. After months of hearing us go on about our Linkin Park podcast Rossko, Miles and special guest Joe Chessum finally, finally got together to get this podcast done and oh boy. It's an absolute monster.

Clocking in at just around four hours (we're really sorry), the boys gather around to rank every single one of Linkin Park's studio albums. With some shocking takes that will rock any Linkin Park fan to its very foundations, this obscene, ridiculous, hilarious (and even emotional and heartfelt) podcast is by far our biggest ever undertaking and without question our most audacious effort to date. If you're a die-hard LP fan, you're not going to want to miss this.

Every single album is taken apart with a fine tooth comb and scattered across the floor, with a final list that may shock, upset or amaze you. Or you may be completely indifferent, let's see how it goes cus in the end, it doesn't really matter. We just wanted something to do?

Enjoy the ep. It's going to change your life. Maybe.

The Mid-2023 Metacritic Predictions Results So Far Special

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 22:33:24 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast - after being unable to complete it due to technical issues last week - we're now back back back with our Mid-2023 Metacritic Predictions Results So Far 2023...you get it.

If you remember earlier in the year we dedicated an episode to predicting the Metacritic scores of all the games we knew were releasing this year (or at least were due to at the time of recording). So what we're doing is jumping back into that list to see how we're getting on, who has made it the closest to their scores and just who is leading the pack as we dive headfirst into the gaming season very, very soon. We also add a bunch of games that have been announced and due for release this year.

We also talk Viewfinder with Josh, Rossko talks Twisted Metal and The Crew Motorfest Closed Beta, Yogdog has been getting his Warhammer on, Kat and Josh have been checking out multiplayer games all week and ended up choosing Children of Morta(!) and Miles tore the spine out of Krzyżacy – The Knights of the Cross.

There's no news, it's been a quiet week and well, frankly the above is gonna take ages. But it's gonna be fun!

Join us, won't you?

In this fun-fuelled and technical issue packed episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and the latecomer Yogdog get together to take on a new quiz, talk everything they've been playing this week and discuss the weeks biggest news including Microsoft's takeover of Activision being very, very close to completion, a possible Last of Us Part II Remaster incoming and Xbox Live Gold sailing into the wind as Xbox Game Pass Core becomes the new standard for online gaming for Xbox.

The FTC v Xbox hearing - Reaction and Updates | Final Fantasy XVI Impressions | Google Returning to Games via YouTube?

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 22:43:10 GMT

On this weeks bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko is joined by Kat, Miles, Sean, Josh, Yogdog *and* Tom for a mass dissection of the weeks gaming news and playing a whole bunch of brand new games.

In the news this week our main topic is the ongoing FTC v Xbox hearing, where some wild revelations are coming out regarding Xbox's business practices and just how far they were willing to go in order to bring down PlayStation, and PlayStation's brutal retaliations. If you ever wanted a console war, never fear, it's all happening behind closed doors apparently. We get into the wild reveals to see just what we think of everything, and whether or not we're actually going to see some video games from Microsoft one day whilst they're busy buying more studios to make them. It's a bizarre week for Xbox and it's only going to get more insane as they try to finally get their acquisition of Acti/Blizz over the line.

Elsewhere Google could be making a comeback to the gaming space, this time via YouTube. A plan they had early on was to link to games from YouTube to immediately play and well, it looks like they're finally making good on that promise. If they market this correctly (which, let's be honest, they definitely didn't do with Stadia), could this be the future of how we consume games? It's a long shot, but we're intrigued to see what happens.

Also, the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 line-up has supposedly leaked. Are our MGS megafans Miles and Josh happy with the line-up? What would they add? Apparently 'Metal Gear Survive' was not the right answer, who knew?

Miles has been taking down Xenomorphs in Alien Dark Descent and Operation Polygon Storm ,Sean has been in the ring checking out AEW Fight Forever, Yogdog has been strateging it up in Strategic Command World War 1 on PC, Josh has been checking out the Open Beta of Ubisofr's xDefiant with a little help from Miles and even less help from Rossko, Kat and her beloved Crash Bandicoot are back together in the super fun Crash Team Rumble and Rossko, Tom and Sean talk about the wonders of that indie darling Final Fantasy XVI. Oh, Sean and Yogdog have also checked out the brand new Warhammer 40000 Leviathan Box.

Plus the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry reviewed. My goodness.

Most Anticipated Games For The Rest of The Year | RIP Xbox One | Final Fantasy XVI Spoilers Are Out There

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 21:59:37 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast in the wake of Summer Game Fest the podteam of Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog all choose our most anticipated games for the rest of the year and boy, are there are metric ton of wonderful games incoming. There's even a Nintendo exclusive in there! Who would have thunk it?

Elsewhere we say a fond farewell to the Xbox One after Microsoft have confirmed they are no longer making games for the system. We talk the infamous reveal show and where the system went right in the end and discuss why we all decided to go PlayStation last generation after all enjoying our Xbox 360's. It's a fun chat and a nice reminder of where Xbox were to where they are now. A heroes journey if there ever was one.

Also there are Final Fantasy XVI spoilers out there so be wary if you want to go into the game completely fresh on Thursday. To manage this we talk our hype levels and once again drool over that incredible demo which sold us all on picking the game up day one.

Kat kicks us off in Game of the Week with the console release of Crime Boss: Rockay City, you know that we've been playing it for a while and were looking forward to checking out the co-op, and Kat, Rossko, Josh, Miles (and even the elusive Paul Collett) jumped in to check out this updated release. Josh has been checking out the lovely Dordogne and the emotionally charged Before Your Eyes on PSVR 2, Yogdog has spent the week playing Team Fight Tactics (which is kinda in the League of Legends universe), Miles went back in time to finally play Dynasty Warriors 9 and Rossko has been budling rollercoasters in Park Beyond.

So. Many. Games. 2023 Edition | Our Favourite Announcements | Best and Worst Showcases

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 23:44:18 GMT

Well, it's been quite the week eh? The Finger Guns Podcast returns with Rossko, Sean, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog all back together to talk the weeks biggest showcases and reveal highlights. The best part of every show, the pointlessness of one of them (can you remember which one?) and everything we can't afford for the rest of the year. So many games, folks. So many games.

And in Game of the Week Sean has jumped into his backlog to play Psychonauts 2, Yogdog has been absolutely storming Diablo IV, Josh has been playing Decarnation, an isometric pixel horror set in France, Kat - in between downing vodka shots in Poland - has been checking out Daydream Forgotten Sorrow., Miles has taken it upon himself to be the one to talk about the extraordinary Final Fantasy XVI demo and Rossko has been enjoying some of the weeks demos like Viewfinder and Road to Vostok.

SO MANY GAMES.

Bring on the Showcases! | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Questions Answered | Our June Highlights

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 04:14:48 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Sean takes the reigns as Rossko is otherwise engaged and is joined by Miles, Kat, Josh and Yogdog to talk all the games in June coming up, we look ahead to all the showcases coming up this week and get stuck into the random Final Fantasy VII Rebirth questions that have been announced this week.

Plus Miles talks to us about his first 20 hours in Diablo IV, Kat has been checking out Everdream Valley and the wonderful Arcade Paradise, Josh has been checking out The Tartarus Key and Yogdog shares with the console suckers what they're missing out on as he goes all PC Master Race via Valorant.

And stick around for an end blurb reading that's, well, either incredible or the worst thing ever. It's a tough call.

Bungie Calling the Shots At Naughty Dog | Gollum Devs Apologise | Nintendo Pull Wii Emulator Off Steam

Mon, 29 May 2023 22:20:26 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Yogdog get together to talk the weeks news and the aftermath of the PlayStation Showcase, namely where was Naughty Dog? Well, that could be Bungie's fault. We reveal all in our discussion of the state of Factions right now.

Elsewhere Nintendo are shutting down fun things again as they DMCA the upcoming GameCube and WII Emulator Dolphin on Steam. A win for the war on emulation or more proof of Nintendo's lack of preservation? We also get into the terrible launch of Gollum and Daedalic's lacklustre response to the issues surrounding the game. With yet another post-launch Twitter apology to stomach from a development team, when is enough enough and are developers really slaves to their consumers? We tackle this from each side to try and work out what on earth can be done about the state of games at launch.

Also, Yogdog attended an online Warhammer event and we get a huge update of everything to come from the franchise. It's a lot, you're eating well if you're a fan that's for sure.

In Game of the Week Yogdog talks Strategic Command 2: World at War and Sean has been checking out the TellTale-lite Star Trek Resurgence. And guess what, Rossko has been playing Fortnite...woo.

Oh, and The Muppets. And PS3's Haze. And The Die Hard Trilogy. And Wagon Wheels. And Obi-Wan Kenobi. There's a lot going on this week. Enjoy the ep!

PlayStation Showcase 2023 Reaction Special

Thu, 25 May 2023 00:20:11 GMT

Kept ya waiting, huh? The PlayStation Showcase 2023 has been and gone and you can now join Rossko, Miles, Josh, Yogdog and Toby (for a little bit) in dissecting every single announcement from the event.

There's a whole lot to get through so don't be disparaged and join us as we peel Miles off the ceiling as this basically was an event picked solely from his brain and it's rather incredible that he was even able to muster words for this podcast, let alone actually turn up.

Spidey! Snake! Dragons! Dogmas! Hellriders! Loads of things! Plus all the stuff we thought was going to be there but wasn't. Enjoy the ep! It's a good laugh.

Dead By Daylight Gets A Supermassive Single Player | Lord of the Rings MMO Incoming | Will We See GTA 6 Next Year?

Mon, 22 May 2023 21:47:00 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a been a quiet week leading up to the PlayStation Showcase so Rossko, Josh and Sean get together to talk everything they could find including the news that Dead By Daylight will be receiving a single player expansion soon from Supermassive Games, the makers of Until Dawn and The Quarry. Rossko asks DBD superfan Josh if he's psyched for it, along with written in thoughts from Kat and Miles, who couldn't join the pod this week.

We also talk a Lord of the Rings MMO coming from Amazon on the back of their first hit, New World. We try and decipher how they could make such a thing really rather good and hopefully we can look forward to whatever it's going to be. There's also been talk from Take Two Interactive this week that their upcoming fiscals are going to be very healthy indeed which leads to the assumption that Grand Theft Auto 6 may not be as far away as we think? We break down the numbers along with everything else they have incoming and see if GTA can find a space in a busy release schedule from the company.

And of course, the aforementioned PlayStation Showacse is going to dominate the news this week so we put out heads together to see if we can figure out some of the more out there possibilities from the show and our most ridiculous theories. Could GTA 6 close the show? Will we see the fabled G-Police Remake or PlayStation All Stars Battle-Royale 2? We haven't got long to find out.

Josh has been playing Undergrave (whilst tearing through Humanity), Sean and Rossko have been playing a fair bit of LEGO 2K Drive and despite the microtransactions poisoning the perfect LEGO world, it's a really good time. Rossko has also been checking out the Starship Troopers Extermination Early Access and is having a hell of a time shooting the ever living hell outta bugs with Miles, hear all about it!

Are Capcom The Best in the World Right Now? | Nintendo's Next Console | Mortal Kombat Reboot Incoming?

Sun, 14 May 2023 22:36:13 GMT

We've got a stacked podcast this week as Rossko, Kat, Miles, Tom, Yogdog and Sean all get together to talk the weeks gaming news, have a chaotic quiz once again (but what else is new?) and celebrate the rather random moment when Rossko appeared on BBC Sounds to talk about the podcast? MAD.

Anyway, in terms of gaming news this week the gang get into the wonderful world of Capcom and after their record breaking sales numbers were revealed we discuss whether or not they could lay claim to be the best publisher in the world right now. Elsewhere there's been some interesting teases in the world of Mortal Kombat with a video teasing a possible reboot / remake? What's going on here? We delve into that along with talking about what we'd like from the next Nintendo console. Well, some of us do. Some of us just continue to bitch about Mario because apparently he slept with their Mum when they were a baby or something.

And of course Game of the Week returns and Tom jumps back on to tell us all about his time with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (you might have heard about it), Miles has checked out the console versions of the cracking Fights in Tight Spaces from GrounfShatter,, Kat has been playing through the Forbidden West DLC Burning Shores, Yogdog has been checking out Mechabellum, a TFT DOTA like where you play as units of mechs/tanks and blow s*** up, presumably.. Sean has checked out Wales' Interactive Mia and the Dragon Princess and Rossko has been deep in the Park Beyond Closed Beta.

Phil Spencer apologises for Redfall | The State of Xbox in 2023 | PlayStation Showcase Rumours Surface

Mon, 08 May 2023 21:58:47 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog get together once again to talk everything video games and this week it's all Xbox as the aftermath of the poor Redfall reviews led Xbox head Phil Spencer to publicly apologise to the community on the state of the game after promising so much. It's an interesting topic as to whether or not this was the right thing to do, but we have a good chat about this and the state of Xbox right now regardless.

Elsewhere in PlayStation land there are rumours abound of an upcoming Showcase which will finally (hopefully) answer the questions of what the hell their studios have been working on. We may see some more Spidey, we may get MGS3?! It's all up in the air but by jove we're all a bit excited about it. Well, except for Kat.

In Game of the Week, Kat and Miles have jumped into the Until Dawn-esque adventure The Quarry whilst Miles has been playing Remnants of the Rift (with a nice little shout out to the Star Wars goodness currently all over the Fortnite island), Josh has been checking out the PlayStaiton version of Squeenix's LiveALive, Yogdog has fell down a master race rabbit hole in PC strategy Rimworld..lols.

Jedi: Survivor's Launch is Rough | Microsoft / Acti Deal Blocked by UK Regulators | PS5 Aiming for Record Breaking Year

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 23:19:26 GMT

This week on the pod we're back to some kind of normalcy with Rossko, Kat, Miles and Yogdog getting together to talk the weeks news including Star Wars Jedi Survivor's launch and the UK blocking the Microsoft / Activision-Blizzard merger.

In Game of the Week Kat has been checking out the cosy mailroom sim Mail Time, Yogdog has been checking out the glorious Age of Wonders 4 on PC, Rossko has been tearing it across the Burning Shores in the new Horizon Forbidden West DLC and Miles has been screen tearing his way through Star Wars Jedi Survivor, almost.

There's a quiz! Recommendations! Warhammer Fest! Complaining! Laughs! Hugs! Yes, it's all the usual shenanigans. It's a Finger Guns Podcast and it's exactly what you need right now. Enjoy!

Episode 200 with Ethan Lawrence!

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 00:59:25 GMT

It's here! We've made it to episode 200 of The Finger Guns Podcast and holy crap on a cracker have we got a treat for you. Joining the returning Rossko with Miles, Kat, Josh and Yogdog is the brilliant Ethan Lawrence, returning for a fourth time and causing more chaos than ever. I'm pretty sure we talked about video games at one point.

We get into the news of the week too, of course (eventually) but I'm not entirely sure we can write a description here of this episode because it's a no holds barred, no real system episode that went off the rails extremely quickly, and possibly includes the longest quiz we've ever done but my word is it epic.

Fortunately we still managed to find time to include Game of the Week and Kat has been checking out the Crash Team Rumble Closed Beta, Miles has been checking out the unique and superb Strayed Lights, Josh has been playing the tactical roguelike deckbuilders Wildheart, Ethan has taken himself back to 2017 with the wonderful Stardew Valley and Yogdog has been checking out a game he can't yet talk about.

It's Episode 200. It's here. It's absolutely mad. It's the longest episode we've ever recorded. Enjoy, because we all very much did.

Dedicated to the memory of Stephen Keniston.

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 23:34:35 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're very excited for our 200th episode next week but never fear, we've still got one more banger of an episode right here before we celebrate hard next week.

Kat returns as host with Miles, Yogdog and Joshua Thompson going through the weeks big news including reacting to the Final Fantasy XVI State of Play and whether or not we could get Yogdog excited for it (we couldn't) but everyone else gets rather excited about the latest gameplay. Elsewhere SEGA have bought Rovio and er, well, that's a thing that has happened. Sonic and Angry Birds, together at last?

Kat gets hyped for Horizon Burning Shores upcoming release which now isn't that far away. Aloy exclusively on PS5, what a time to be alive, eh?

Miles has checked out the latest build of zero-gravity shooter Boundary and this weeks horror fuelled Suffer the Night, Josh has seen the future in The Last Worker, Kat has jumped back into Hogwarts Legacy and Dead By Daylight (shocker!) and Yogdog has jumped back into Total War Rome 2 and checked out some of the mods.

A new Sony handheld incoming? | Resi 4 adds microtransactions | A temperature control DualSense? WTF?

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 23:10:43 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Kat, Miles, Josh, Yogdog and Tom Woods (he's back!) get together to talk the weeks news which primarily consists of some new Sony accessory rumours including a temperature controlled DualSense and some rumours of a brand new handheld that isn't a handheld but is kind of a handheld. Kat explains.

We also ask our resident Resident Evil 4 superfan Tom Woods about the microtransaction additions to the game post-launch, post review period. Hmmm.

In Game of the Week Miles has been checking out Meet Your Maker, the brand new game from the makers of Dead By Daylight, Josh has been checking out the glorious Pupperazi,and the Monster Hunter esque Wild Hearts, the returning Tom Woods talks his *fourth* playthrough of the Resi 4 remake, Yogdog has been checking out some Total Rome DLC and Rossko sneaks in some thoughts on his beloved (not really) Crime Boss: Rockay City.

E3 Cancelled | BAFTA Winners Recap | Mario Bros. Movie Reviews Are Peachy

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 23:10:30 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Kat takes the reigns with Miles, Sean, Josh and Yogdog as they talk the weeks games news and what they've been playing. You know, exactly the thing we do every single other week? We're doing that again this week but with more up to date information and it's a whole lotta fun cus that's what we do y'hear?

The big news of the week? E3 2023 is cancelled. The gang discuss what the hell happened and what comes next for gaming's biggest event. Elsewhere we talk the rapturous reception to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (with Yogdog throwing up a wild take on Mario himself) along with the BAFTA Game Winners. Vampire Survivors! BEST GAME! LET'S GO!

Sean has been checking out Nato Anomolies from Prime Matter, Miles has spent his week playing 'the worst best game he's ever played' called Troublemaker, Yogdog has been tearing it up in the classic Rise of Nations: Extended Edition, Josh has been avoiding turning into vermin in metroidvania Curse of the Sea Rats and Kat has been thoroughly enjoying Tchia (even if she can't pronounce it).

Being serious about those Mario takes, you're not ready.

Look For The Light - Part II Spoilers + More

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:02:14 GMT

Here it is, the final episode of our The Last of Us HBO Podcast 'Look For The Light'. This week for the last time (until Season 2, of course..) Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk everything that links Season One to Part II, so naturally if you haven't played/seen/heard the games hugely divisive sequel, disappear immediately because we're spoiling absolutely everything about it in minute detail.

So much so I can't even write a description for this episode. If you're deep into The Last of Us lore, then come join us on the ride and we dissect Part II to theorise how the second season of The Last of Us will play out, where we could see certain story threads beginning and ending in different ways, characters that are ripe for a Bill and Frank-esque deep dive and who on earth is going to play..well, you know who I'm talking about. They're a keen golfer.

If you've enjoyed our series thank you so much for listening, it's been a treat talking The Last of Us every week with you. And don't forget, when you're lost in the darkness....well, you know.

Resident Evil 4 Reviews | Hands-On With Exoprimal | RIP Lance Reddick

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 23:45:08 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles, Kat, Josh and the returning Yogdog talks all the weeks news, and pays tribute to the brilliance Lance Reddick, who passed away this week aged 60.

After some stellar reviews across the board, Resident Evil 4 has proved once again that Capcom are the kings of the remakes. Can their magic developer tools work wonders with the much less beloved Resident Evil 5 and 6? We discuss.

We also get *very* excited about Exoprimal, even Miles! Rossko, Josh and Miles got together to play it over the weekend and had an absolute blast. Miles has egg on his face one again and it's a rather beautiful moment.

Along with another fiendish quiz from Miles, we also of course jump into Game of the Week where Josh and Miles took on the massive Diablo IV beta, Bramble The Mountain King has been scaring the crap out of Kat and Josh has jumped into the console version of Post Void. Yogdog has been checking out the glorious Stellaris and Rossko has been playing Fortnite, but what's new there. He really needs to branch out, jesus...

Enjoy the ep!

BAFTA Nominations Revealed | CAPCOM / Do We Overhype, Um, Hype?

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 23:18:16 GMT

On this weeks podcast the team are thin on the ground as Rossko, Josh and Yogdog take on the weeks news whilst the rest of the team are taken over my Cordoceps.

We tear through the BAFTA Game Nominations and choose our winners from every category along with choosing our pie in the sky announcements from this weeks Capcom Direct. Yogdog also fills us in on the very interesting Paradox Direct which showcased some of their latest titles including Cities Skylines 2, DLC for Crusader Kings III and much, much more.

Our main topic though is hype. Do we get sucked in? Should we fall for hype? Is hype...dare we say...overhyped? We discuss. So far it's been a mixed bag in regards to games we've been excited for which ultimately disappointed us but we've also had games we were excited for that really delivered, but what is hype? There's a fair amount to discuss so we get into it as best we can.

Of course we also have game of the week and Yogdog has been Mechin' his way through Phantom Brigade, Josh has jumped into Obscure Tales's Lamentum while Rossko has been somewhat disappointed by Destiny 2's latest DLC, Lightfall.

Oh, and we recommend candles. Enjoy the ep!

Look For The Light - Episode Seven

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 20:10:29 GMT

We're back with The Last of Us and it's time for Ellie and Riley's Amazing Night At The Mall With Absolutely No Sad Things Happening Whatsoever.

The team get into Left Behind with reckless abandon, with Kat admitting she hasn't played the DLC and shares some interesting takes from someone who has never played it. There's plenty to explain and get into Ellie's backstory with Riley, their love for each other, Mortal Kombat II and writer Neil Druckmann teaching us all how to do fatalities. Cheers Neil, much appreciated.

Next week we meet David and everything finally lightens up a bit. LOL. Just kidding. See you there!

State of Play Reactions | Are Microsoft Bottling The Acti Deal? | Elden Ring sells 20m

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 23:05:58 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Kat, Miles and Yogdog get together to talk all things video games, and Nando's. And German speaking war movies. It's quite the pod.

First up we recap this weeks PlayStation State of Play as we share our highlights of the show. We talk if we've finally been sold on Suicide Squad :Kill The Justice League after the deep dive and the excitement of Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6.

Elsewhere as the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard rumbles on we get caught up on the latest developments, of which Microsoft are stumbling out of the gate after their poor showing at the EU hearing, defending the acquisition with Sony present seemingly pushing back on every promise. Will this deal ever go through? Do Microsoft have a leg left to stand on? Time will tell.

Finally, has Souls gone mainstream? With the enormous success of Elden Ring reported this week, has the genre shifted into the hands of filthy casuals? How did the marketing pull this one off? We discuss.

Not forgetting Game of the Week, Sean has been checking out the delightful Clive N' Wrench, Miles has been ruling with an iron fist in The King's Dilemma: Chronicle, Kat has been playing the almighty Chef Life and Yogdog has continued his journey in Spellforce along with some Blood Bowl III. Rossko has just been playing Fortnite, so same old there. He's a predictable old man.

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 12:47:19 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Sean takes the hosting reigns with Miles, Josh and Yogdog along for the ride. The team choose their Mount Rushmore games - four games they'd replace the Presidents with to immortalise forever - and there are some fascinating choices (especially Miles...jeez).

We also tackle the major PlayStation VR 2 reviews as the system launches this week and if we are genuinely hyped for the next generation of virtual reality shininess. Oh, and there's a new Civilisation on the way?! The team discuss if there's any excitement for this one in the midst of a huge shake-up at Civ developers Fireaxis.

Game of the Week return as Miles talks his week with the hugely anticipated Atomic Heart, Josh has started indie darling Stilstand, Yogdog has been tearing through Spellforce: Conquest of Eo and Sean has had his week glued to Temple of Snek. Miles has a brand new quiz sorted out and well, chaos once again ensues.

Look For The Light - Episodes Four + Five

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 21:44:59 GMT

After skipping a week due to life, our HBO's The Last of Us podcast is back with a look back at Episode 4 and Episode 5. The first episodes you can kinda claim to be a 'part one' and 'part two' seemed to make sense to talk about together and seeing as our scheduled were all messed up it made sense to wait a little bit and then smash them together in one epic review podcast.

Ep 4 and 5 presents Joel and Ellie reaching Kansas City, whose QZ has been obliterated and the people are killing FEDRA in the streets. It's up to Joel and Ellie to get our alive and maybe, just maybe taking some heroes along with them.

Oh, and bloaters. Oof.

It's also episode 190 and Rossko, Miles, Kat, Yogdog and the returning Sean gets into the weeks news but there's a whole lotta Hogwarts Legacy talk now the embargo has finally passed. It's really good, and we do take the sweet time to tell you why. We also get into the sad news that a future Titanfall game has been cancelled, Back4Blood is coming to an end and we also talk what the bloodyhell is going on with The Day Before? We have no idea but we try to piece together an idea with the evidence we have.

Look for the Light - Episode Three

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 20:21:30 GMT

It's time to delve deep into the third episode of HBO's The Last of Us, and well, safe to say we weren't ready for the absolute heartbreak this episode had waiting for us.

With incredible central performances from Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, 'Long, Long Time' cements itself as the best episode thus far and perhaps one of the greatest hours of television that's been broadcast in, well, a long, long time. Join Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh as they remember the tears and the moments that complimented the game, along with deep diving into Bill and Frank's relationship, beautifully complimenting Joel's journey with Ellie.

Oh, it's an intense one, do enjoy the listen.

The Metacritic 2023 Predictions Episode

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 23:23:30 GMT

It's that time of year again where team Finger Guns get together to talk everything Metacritic with their 2nd annual Metacritic Predictions episode. This time we've obviously got some brand new players and it's bigger than ever before, with some massive games due this year we're going all out in the hope that the games live up to some massive expectations. What do we think is gonna hit the heights of 2022's best? Well, you're gonna have to listen to find out.

Elsewhere we give ourselves a little bit of time to the weeks news, namely Ubisoft seemingly completely falling apart and Microsoft's upcoming developer showcase.

Oh, and Game of the Week returns and Kat has got herself addicted to mobile sensation Good Pizza, Great Pizza, Yogdog talks the latest Oldworld DLC, Miles finally gets his hands on Midnight Suns, Josh is very much enjoying Supermarket Shriek (when he's not being disturbed by Kat and Miles on his doorstep) and Rossko has reminded himself of the The Last of Us before jumping into the new series.

Just don't ask us to look for the light or we'll break your jaw. Enjoy the episode!

Metacritic Predicitions - The Results! | What Are Bungie Working On? | Sony reveal accessibility controller

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 23:50:14 GMT

We're back! The Finger Guns Podcast makes its triumphant return with episode 186, where Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog get back together to talk all things video games and what we've been playing over the festive period.

Whilst the week has been somewhat light on news thus far, we manage to cram some minutes out of just what Bungie could be working on with their five unannounced projects and what we'd like to see new from the now legendary FPS developer.

Elsewhere Sony have finally revealed an accessibility controller, known right now as Project Leonardo. We talk the very good news that Sony have at last moved into the sector where all can play their games, and just hope it's not out of peoples reach when it comes to price. There's a whole lot to like about this product, but will Sony market it correctly?

Our main topic though is our Metacritic Predictions -Results. If you remember way back in January last year we took a selection of games that were due for release in 2022 and gave our own Metacritic predictions for each game. Well now it's time to jump back in and see how well we did. It's quite the listen!

There's also plenty of recommendations (including TV shows, creme eggs and oh yeah, some video games), Red Dead 2, Rossko gets vindicated over What Remains of Edith Finch thanks to Josh, Miles talks his love for Arcade Paradise and Yogdog talks playing with a selection of Fallout mods.

It's good to be back!

Games of the Year 2022 | 2023 Hype | The Big Fat Quiz of the Year

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 23:50:45 GMT

On our final podcast of the year we've managed to assemble our biggest cast so far with an almighty SEVEN Finger Gunners joining the pod and amassing an absolute cavalcade of madness. Joining Rossko is Kat, Miles, Josh, Sean, the returning Tom and Jonathan Brown (aka Yogdog) making his first appearance on the podcast as we talk all about our Games of the Year and everything that is to come.

We delve into our Game of the Year choices and share with the group just why these games were so damn special to us, elaborating on our written segments in the website GOTY article. There's a fair few of us now so there's a fair few games to get into, it's a hell of a list.

Elsewhere we talk hype for 2023 and whilst it looks like there's a certified banger dropping at least every single month we try to narrow it down with a hefty list of games we're looking forward to (but still manage to add plenty on at the end). With a simple cheer-o-meter we garner what the team is looking forward to the most and what we can probably do without next year, if anything at all. And also, we're still unsure whether or not we're allowed to bloody play Hogwarts Legacy or not.

A huge shout out to Kat also who put together an almighty Big Fat Game Quiz of 2022 which saw us take on nearly double the questions as normal and try to remember some of the nonsense we wrote in our reviews as questions. It's a hell of a laugh and we hope you can join in at home on at least some of the questions.

Never fear though our regular segment Game of the Week remains as Miles talks Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion, Kat and Rossko get hype on the ridiculously funny High on Life, newbie YogDog talks Rimworld, Sean shares his thoughts on WhipDrive years after release (now shiny and better than ever on PS5), Tom tosses a coin to the next-gen Witcher 3 upgrade and Josh finally tries Vampire Survivors.

It's been a hell of a year on The Finger Guns Podcast and thank you so much for joining us for the ride. We've seen our biggest numbers ever and now we can keep it live and kicking on our new partners Acast! Thank you again, we'll see you in January.

The Game Awards 2022 Review | Our Favourite Trailers | Where The Heck Were Xbox?

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 01:23:59 GMT

On the penultimate episode of The Finger Guns Podcast for 2022 Rossko, Josh, Kat and Miles get together to talk everything The Game Awards. We talk about the winners and the losers, the event itself, our favourite trailers and what we're probably going to avoid (hello Crime Boss Rockay Citaayyy). Do we agree with what won and what didn't? Well, for the most part yes, but there are some egregious calls which we set straight by, well, shouting at each other so loud our microphones cut out. It's all a part of the podcasting experience, folks. You should know this about us by now.

Elsewhere Game of the Week returns with Miles talking about the mysterious Mirror Forge, Kat talks the Fall of Porcupine demo, Josh searches for dead bodies in Hello Neighbour 2 and Rossko shares his impressions on Forspoken now the demo is available on PSN.

We've also got another quiz and another bath of recommendations, all of which are video games this week. What? No random new chocolate bar to recommend? We're sorry, we're going to try harder next week. See you then for the last episode of the year!

First up Josh talks his time with Need for Speed Unbound and how he worries he's getting a little too old for it, Miles shares his opinion on the hugely anticipated The Callisto Protocol, Rossko talks doing a full 360 of Marvel's Midnight Suns and Sean holds up his indie corner by trying out the rather delightful The Forest Quartet. We also talk Fortnite's brand new chapter and the state of live service in games overall. Who's doing it, who's doing it wrong and what's to come in the future (gentle reminders also that Fortnite is bloody great and should be played by everyone).

Kat also returns with a quiz and there are some hearty recommendations. We'll be back for The Game Awards. See you there!

Christmas Games! | Buying a Gaming Laptop in 2022 | Netflix to make a 'AAA' game?

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 23:38:55 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and Kat get to grips with the weeks news of which there...well, there isn't an awful lot but boy, is this not an entertaining lark of a podcast anyway.

We get into the announcement of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a brand new 12 player co-op shooter adventure that takes us very much into the heart of the movie. We're all rather excited for this (well, except for Kat..).

Splinter Cell returns! Kinda. Not really. In a BBC Radio 4 audio drama? Bet you didn't have that on your 2022 bingo card, did you? The franchise returns once again without returning and we're all a little befuddled as to why Ubisoft aren't just making a brand new game in the series instead of milking Sam Fischer for all he's worth everywhere else.

We also talk Netflix's announcement that they're taking on development of a 'AAA' title. We don't know much else, other than it may be a shooter and it may be connected to one of their IP's. Are we about to see a major Stranger Things game on the horizon? What about Squid Game? Mindhunter ?That Witcher series they made would be a fun video game, don't you think?

Elsewhere, Miles and Kat share the love for God of War Ragnarok, Rossko has finally finished Horizon Forbidden West and Josh talks the almighty Goat SImulator 3 with huge praise. There's also a God of War themed quiz and some glorious recommendations to get your teeth into this week. Though oddly none of them are food this time...

Oh, and we follow the trails and tribulations of Kat buying a sexy gaming laptop throughout the podcast. It's a fascinating ride and one you'll want to follow until the very end. It's incredible.

Golden Joystick Winners | Warzone 2.0 Makes All The Money | Two Years of Series X / PS5

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 23:33:57 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles and Josh are back together once again to get through the weeks news and well, there isn't a whole lot of it so we talk about Call of Duty instead.

Well, as we keep up with the Golden Joystick award winners announcements throughout the podcast (Elden Ring for best multiplayer? Eh?), the gang discuss the ridiculous success of Warzone 2.0 and what it could mean for the future of the Royale, our own opinions on the game itself after jumping in together this week and more talk about the ongoing Microsoft / Activision acquisition saga. They offered ten years to PlayStation for CoD, would they accept? Well, we have no idea. But we speculate either way what it could mean for both companies.

Elsewhere it's been two years since the release of the Xbox Series duo and the PS5, so we give the systems a thorough going over about where they stand and what we've enjoyed and not enjoyed about them so far. With Xbox throwing their money around - with seemingly very little return just yet - and Sony banging out AAA after AAA, the two companies have gone down very different paths in the hope to grab your attention this time around. We discuss whether or not we see a future in either method and when we can expect Xbox to actually start living up to the cheques they're writing developers. Starfield has a hell of a lot on its shoulders.

There's also of course Game of the Week where Miles talks the brilliant Evil West, Josh gets hyped for Ship of Fools and Rossko digs into his backlog to get a little further in Horizon Forbidden West and talks the brilliant Once Upon a Jester, which you can pick up on Steam right now.

Josh also turns up with a Game Awards themed quiz which you won't want to miss and there's the latest on Miles' Saturnalia/Only Fans venture. It's quite the episode.

Enjoy!

The Game Awards 2022 Nominations & Predictions | Control 2 Confirmed! | RIP Kevin Conroy

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 23:38:54 GMT

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and a very late Kat (seriously, at the gym trying to better herself instead of talking games? Pfft) get together to talk all the weeks news and well, there's a whole lot of game nominations we need to get through.

Oh yes, it's that time of year again where we tear through the entire list of The Game Awards nominations and see if we can pick who is going to take home the gold. Through every category - almost - we still don't know what an e-sports is - we get into arguments over who deserves to take home Geoff Keighley's pointless trophies that pad out his trailer showcase and well, let's just say it gets fairly heated this year. Kat comes back from the gym and is taking no prisoners. Giant crumpet.

Elsewhere we talk the weeks news including The Witcher 3's next-gen upgrade, the official confirmation of Control 2 and the tragic passing of our Batman, the irreplaceable Kevin Conroy.

As ever we talk our Game of the Week with Miles sharing his thoughts on Somerville (out now on Game Pass. Go play!), Josh fights off dinosaurs in the Switch version of the Jurassic Park Aftermath Collection and Rossko, at least, shares his thoughts, however heartbreaking they may be, on Sonic Frontiers.

Oh, and there's so much more. We love this one, we're pretty sure you will too. See you next time! Enjoy the episode.

PSVR 2 Dated and Priced | Kojima's Horror Game Leaked | Sonic Frontiers is...'good'?!

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:00:57 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're all getting rather excited about the weeks big releases, namely God of War Ragnarok and Sonic Frontiers. Has Rossko caved and already brought Sonic? At the time of recording, no, but hey, there's still one hour to go before midnight.

Instead we decided to get together and talk the weeks news, and there isn't an awful lot to get into but we did indeed talk all about PlayStation VR 2, now that it's been dated and priced and we share our thoughts on whether or not we're going to jump into brave new virtual worlds on day one. It's a tad expensive one would argue, but in comparison to other VR headsets of this quality, is it justified? Sean being the man of reason helps us out with this one and we're eternally grateful.

Elsewhere in a follow-up to last weeks main discussion, Hideo Kojima's horror game OVERDOSE may or may not have been leaked on the YouTubes by a shirtless man. There's a whole lot of conspiracy with this one and we're fairly excited to see what ol' Kojima-san has up his sleeve this time around. Also, the shirtless man is totally Geoff Keighley.

We're also all in on Game of the Week. Rossko has lost himself to the PlayStation Starts rewards service for pointless collectibles, Miles has played a terrible castle simulator, Kat has once again played a cosy life sim on the Switch and Josh has spent the week playing one of Sean's favourites of the year, Kovox Pitch whilst Sean shares his impressions of The Chant with the group.

There's also a brand new audio quiz from Kat - with all the drama you expect from a Kat quiz - Rossko gets very excited about Sonic Frontiers reviews, Miles shares his opinions on Terrifier 2 and Sean's cat makes a couple of cameos. There's a whole lot going on in this ep, which is wild considering we only came up with two news stories to talk about.

Saturnalia is a perfect game | Do we 'identify' as gamers? | What's Kojima actually making?

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 22:59:01 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk the weeks news with Hideo Kojima starting the hype train for this new project by stating it's a 'whole new medium'...um, whatever that could possibly mean. We try and decipher what on earth he's up to and see if it's at all related to his rumoured horror game 'Overdose' or if he's taking Death Stranding 2 in a wild new direction.

Elsewhere we talk yet again about the stigma of being called a 'gamer'. After a research study was revealed claiming that those who identify as 'gamers' are more likely to be racist and sexist, we try to break down what studies like this really mean and if we can at all stomach the phrase gamer at all and what it really means to the general populous. Are we all tarred with the same brush? And why is it exclusively video games that seems to be the punch bag for this? We discuss.

Then with the news that Naughty Dog themselves are working with a brand new Sony studio to create a new entry in a 'beloved franchise', we have some fun trying to guess what on earth it could be. Will it be a new entry in a Naughty Dog franchise or has Sony thrown them something from their esteemed back catalogue we haven't seen for a while? Time will tell, but boy it's fun to speculate.

Game of the Week of course returns with Kat talking Broken Pieces, Miles finally getting to talk about possibly his game of the year, Saturnalia, Josh talks the last few hours of Fortnite's halloween content Fortnitemares and Rossko finally jumps into retro compilation Sonic Origins.

Josh also talks more horror movies with a review of Barbarian, Rossko randomly has Top Gun Maverick land on his door and has finally seen The Batman and Kat recommends food. We're nothing if not consistent here at The Finger Guns Podcast.

Enjoy the ep!

Halloween! Resident Evil Showcase Impressions | Silent Hill Reveals | Our Scariest Game Moments Ever (2022 Edition)

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 22:35:22 GMT

BOO! Ha! GOT YA!

Sorry, we didn't mean to frighten you here at The Finger Guns Podcast but it's our Halloween episode so here comes the frights! Kind of. Not really. This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and the returning Tom Woods talk everything about the weeks big reveals from the Silent Hill and Resident Evil Showcases, with five new Silent Hill projects to chew on and some scarily good looking trailers for Resident Evil 4 and the Winters Expansion for Resident Evil Village. Is the fear still alive for both these franchises? It certainly would appear so.

Elsewhere we jump back into our scariest moments in video games, as is tradition. We unlock the horrors from video games past as we share with the group exactly which moments in video games have made us jump out of our seats. This years includes the likes of Dying Light, P.T., Alien Isolation and more. It's a veritable feast of fascination fearsome Finger Gunning..or something.

Our Game of the Week of course returns with chats all about I See Red, Aquarist, the cracking Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed and Rossko talks through his time with the Call of Duty Modern Warfare II campaign ahead of its release on Friday.

Also, in what I know you've all been waiting for, Kat shares her review of Taylor Swift's brand new album Midnights. Cus we keep our finger on the pulse right here and we know that's what you really want to hear about, even if you won't admit it.

A Plague Tale: Requiem Review Chat | Bayonetta 3 Boycott | Sony Scared of ACTI Aquisition?

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 22:15:25 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and the returning Josh talk all the weeks biggest news and get a bit excited about the weeks releases. Taylor Swift has an album coming out this week you know, we may have mentioned it a few times. We may spend the entire pod trying to get into the presale for tickets. Maybe. Definitely.

In other news we talk the fallout of the reveal that Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor was only offered $4,000 to reprise her iconic role in Bayonetta 3, sending ripples across the industry on fair wages for voice actors. Platinum Games didn't take it all that well, and there's seemingly far more to come from this story. We chat about what's fair and how we're going to, regretfully, skip the game because of this.

Elsewhere we're still talking about the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard with new information coming to light regarding Sony's part in all of this. Sony have kicked off saying they're worried Xbox will monopolise Call of Duty and secure exclusives for their players, meaning players will leave PlayStation to access them. Now, where have we heard that before? It's a very strange story that's going on and on and on, and well there's very little else to add apart from we're kinda hoping it's going to be over and done with soon.

A huge release this week sees A Plague Tale Requiem finally come to consoles and PC and our own Toby was lucky enough to review the game. Rossko chats with him to discuss (as spoiler-free as possible) the game and his thoughts on it, and whether it not it lives up to the superb original (Find it at 01:25:00)

To celebrate Kat has devised a quiz all about A Plague Tale and we all get a bit giddy and hype about its release (which is right now, it's available now. GO!).

We also talk The Entropy Centre, The Last Hero of Nostal Gaia, Unusual Findings, Session, Kit Kat Chunky Biscoff Edition, Better Call Saul and Disney+ series The Bear. This episode is a lot.

Video Games and Mental Health | Mario Movie Trailer Impressions | Crash Returns!

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 21:52:45 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our 175th episode! To celebrate this major milestone we, er, well there's only three of us but what a trio! Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and where better place to start than with the clues pointing to a brand new Crash Bandicoot game being revealed at The Game Awards this year? Rumours are rife with speculation that we may see Crash's long awaited game Wumpa League at Geoff Keighley's annual game trailer expose, so be on the look out for that. Is Kat hyped? Well, you're gonna have to listen to find out..

Elsewhere the biggest news of the week without a doubt was the reveal of the first footage from The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Nintendo and Minion's creators Illumination. The discord around this game has been rather insane so we try to collate it all and share our own opinions on what the trailer showcases and if we're excited to see the rest of the film. Oh, and if Chris Pratt is the right voice for Mario. Will this continue long into the wee hours? You better believe it, Rossko might bitch about this until the sun scorches the entire planet so buckle up.

Ahead of a possible full podcast on the subject we also get into the affects of gaming on our mental health, as each member of the team share their experiences with games and how they've helped them get through some hard times and some of the stigma that still surrounds gaming as a whole. 'Never feel stupid for finding comfort in a video game'.

Our Game of the Week segment returns with Miles talking Undetected, Kat shares her slice of Lemon Cake and Rossko goes all basic bitch and talks his time with FIFA 23.

Enjoy the ep!

RIP Google Stadia | Trouble at Disco Elysium | Horizon Zero Dawn Remake Incoming?

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 21:44:51 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Sean get together to talk the weeks big news and basically there's only one place to start and that's the inevitable death of Google Stadia. After the announcement this week that Google will be pulling the online-only service in January of next year, we talk what went wrong, what Google didn't do well (and also what they did), what they could have done to save the service and, most crucially, how the developers had no idea this was happening until Google announced it. It's an entire cluster of bad times all round, and we break it down for you as best we can.

Elsewhere we talk the fallout of leadership heads at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM which lead to them 'involuntarily' leaving the company, leaving the sequel without its original creators. Where does this leave the new game? Are fans going to be as excited without their voices attached?

As we were recording there was also some breaking news regarding a remake of Horizon Zero Dawn, which may be arriving on PS5 in the near future. There's nothing confirmed yet, but it looks like this rumour is building up steam amongst the press who have corroborated the information. We shall see what happens. Also, the Horizon board game is apparently really difficult.

Finally we each discuss what we're looking forward to playing before the years end, there's still plenty of gaming to be had even if Miles is still refusing to play Gotham Knights. You know he will. We all know he will.

EGX 2022 Reviewed | Hands-On With Sonic Frontiers and Street Fighter 6! | The Best of the Indies

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 21:46:14 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a proper OG cast as Rossko, Sean, Greg and Toby get together to talk all about EGX 2022. Granted, only Sean and Greg went this year but they have a whale of time talking to Rossko and Toby about their time at the event, what they played, who they shmoozed and what they thought of the event overall, whilst namechecking some indie highlights such as Robobeat, How To Say Goodbye, To Hell With That Guy, Trinity Fusion and Soulbound.

Rossko of course asks about Sonic Frontiers and gets perhaps the shock of his life when Sean and Greg both agree that there may just be something there that's worth getting excited about this time...maybe. Greg and Sean also sing the praises of Street Fighter 6 after having several bouts on the upcoming fighter.

Elsewhere we quickly get into the weeks biggest news with Cyberpunk suddenly doing massive numbers, Splinter Cell's remake getting 'modernised', a big update on the Rockstar Games hack and our thoughts on the first full trailer for HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us. It's divided the camp, that's for sure.

We of course also have our game recommendations, Game of the Week includes No Place for Bravery, Diofield Chronicle, Family Man on Switch and QUBE's 10th anniversary and everything notable that's due for release this week. It's a big one.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaked... | PSVR 2 Won't Play PSVR Games | An External PS5 Disc Drive Incoming?

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 22:31:42 GMT

This week on a packed Finger Guns Podcast Rossko sits himself back in the hosting seat with Sean, Greg, Kat, Miles and Josh to talk about the weeks news and what on earth could we talk about. Well, there was a certain thing about Grand Theft Auto 6 that happened.

Yes, GTA 6 leaked across the internet this week and we have some thoughts. A lot of them not good. We try to dissect the timeline of this madness and work out where Rockstar Games go from here in dealing with this. It may not have huge implications after all, but it's not all that great, eh? We talk it out and see if the hype remains (spoiler; it does).

We also get into the PSVR 2 news and after a week of previews and reveals, the news that the new headset will be incompatible with PSVR 1 games. We're all a bit gutted about it and we discuss whether or not this impacts our excitement for the headset. Also, are Sony planning an external disc drive for future PS5 models? The smallest of rumours have landed and we talk the possibilities and how it would actually be a good thing. Maybe? We'll see.

In Game of the Week Rossko (and Kat, still blowing Rossko's mind to this day) talk the brand new Chromey season of Fortnite, Miles talks Sunday Gold, Kat finally gets to share her thoughts on Little Orpheus, Greg jumps back into Cyberpunk 2077, Josh has played a whole lot of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Sean finally gets his hands on his hugely anticipated Return to Monkey Island. There were tears shed..

September 2022 Nintendo Direct / PlayStation State of Play Reaction Special

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:30:01 GMT

It's another Reaction Special and my word, we've only got two showcases to cover in one! First up we talk our highlights of the *very long* Nintendo Direct and what we're looking forward to getting our hands on, we talk the aftermath of the GoldenEye announcement and how it doesn't sound quite as exciting as first appeared along with whether or not there were enough JRPG farming sims coming to the Switch.

We then do a swift deep dive into the PlayStation State of Play where we found something for everyone, including a Tekken 8 announcement and that rather glorious trailer for Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin. Oh and that God of War Ragnarok game that people seem to be excited for? Yeah, we talk about that too.

We said it would be a short one, it wasn't. It never is. Ah well.

Ubisoft Forward Recap (Assassin's Creeeeeed!!) | Disney / Marvel Recap (Monkey Island!!) | Tomb Raider returns to Eidos

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 23:29:05 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Kat, Miles, Sean and Josh get into the weeks news, which is basically just jumping into the primary showcases that hit the last few days.

First up we get into the first ever Disney / Marvel games showcase as part of the D23 Expo, and each pod host shares what they're excited for from the show, which is certainly a mixed bag. Sean loved it though, naturally.

Talking of Sean loving games we then get into the Ubisoft Forward and talk everything you need to know about the future of Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft are going all out with the franchise and it's super exciting to see what's to come. Sean deep dives into why with a few theories and some hype for the future of the franchise. We also talk about the rest of Ubisoft Forward but let's be honest, it was all building towards Assassin's Creed and everything else was...well.

Anyway! Elsewhere Kat is very excited about Tomb Raider going home to Eidos and Crystal Dynamics and all is well.

And in Game of the Week Josh spent the week on the basketball court with NBA 2K23, Sean is back on his FMV trip in the wild and wonderful The Gallery, Miles has been working his way through Steelrising and Kat has been spying on the general populous in City Eye.

Silent Hill 2 Images Leak?! | The Last of Us Part 1 arrives broken | Is It Too Late for Cyberpunk 2077?

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 00:11:23 GMT

This week on the 170th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Kat takes the reigns with Miles, Sean, Tom and Josh joining your host to talk through the games news including these rather suspiciously exciting Silent Hill 2 image leaks. The team are split on whether or not they're real but we're rather looking forward to see where this goes as Konami has begun to get a little bit louder about what's to come from them.

We also get into The Last of Us Part 1 with some players receiving their fairly expensive Firefly Edition in poor conditions, with Sony not going to refund the damaged goods. Tsk. We also get into our thoughts on the remake. Also, the team gets into this weeks Cyberpunk 2077 announcement that a new showcase is incoming to show off the next batch of patches(!) and possibly some new DLC footage. It's been a long road for this one, are any of the team at all excited?

And in our Game of the Week Sean has jumped back into Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2, Miles returns to Back 4 Blood to check out the new DLC, Tom gets elusive with Inscryption, Josh has dusted off the fury road to go back and play some Mad Max and Kat has continued her run through Days Gone and has seemingly, finally had enough with Dead By Daylight.

The PS5 Price Hike - Is It Really Worth The Money? | Game Pass Friends and Family found | The Funniest Games Ever

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 21:55:15 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh get into the weeks news including the rather depressing PS5 price hike and the very exciting Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family subscription rumour. Kat and Miles also get into their favourite trailers from Gamescom Opening Night Live and Josh talks his highlights from the Future Games Show.

Elsewhere Kat talks finally discovering Days Gone, Josh gets his tiny hands on Tinykin and Miles can finally talk his month with the brand new Saints Row (and Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed). Oh, and Rossko talks er, getting a cafe in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The gang also share their funniest games ever, declaring which video games made them laugh out loud the most.

There's also a surprisingly difficult quiz, a brand new drink recommendation and well, someone gets rather hyped about the new Taylor Swift album. Answers on a postcard as to who that might be!

Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 Reaction Special

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 00:36:05 GMT

In a very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Tom, Toby and Josh get together to talk everything (literally, everything) announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. What did we like? What did we love? What are we never going to play? What did we think was a huge waste money to spend a bunch on a pointless trailer just to get it in the show only to be completely forgotten in a week when we're still talking about all of the cool trailers that made a whole lot more sense?

All of these enormous questions are answered and much, much more including our thoughts on the overall show, why we have no real use for a Pokemon car along with a brief(ish) chat about the Destiny 2 Showcase that preceded the Showcase (Ghosts in Fortnite! Yay!)

Sit back, relax. This is a long one but it's very much worth your time. In-depth and us laughing at Toby for his high brow words. All in a days work

Starfield Modders Prep for Launch | Toys For Bob are Back?! | Uncomfortable Gaming Moments

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 22:18:37 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Tom get together to talk Toys for Bob, Dead Island 2 leaks and the preparation Bethesda fanboys are taking to ensure Starfield has a smooth launch by literally making mods to fix the game upon release. Yes, that is a real thing that's happening.

We also talk Kat's first few hours with Cult of the Lamb, the under-the-radar greatness of Fashion Police Squad and Tom and Rossko sing the praises of Rollerdrome.

There's also a Harry Potter quiz, in which we realise Kat very much took us all very seriously last week when we said we wanted to do a Harry Potter quiz. Lols. Oh, and we talk The Sandman and The Guilty on Netflix and we put our lighters in the air as Miles and Kat talk heading to Wembley to see Coldplay.

We're nothing if not diverse on The Finger Guns Podcast.

Enjoy the ep!

THQ's Bright Future | Sony Blocking Games to Game Pass? | Vikings on Trampolines!

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 22:52:21 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns along with the also returning Kat to talk all the weeks gaming news with Miles, Tom and Josh. What gaming news? Well, there isn't a huge amount of 'news' per se but there are a few interesting tidbits that we wanted to get into including Microsoft accusing Sony of 'blocking' games from launching on Xbox Game Pass due to some under the table dealings. Well, it's probably not that excessing but we break down what this headline really means and what it could actually be referring to in the greater gaming landscape. Should we know this is happening? Probably not, are we gonna talk the hell out of it anyway? We sure are. That's what we're here for.

Elsewhere after Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel's Midnight Suns both got hefty delays this week we ask if delays really matter anymore if they're just a ploy to keep the hype train moving along or genuine ways to ensure developers don't get overworked in the lead up to release. Is a rushed game always bad? Yes it is, and we try to focus on the positives as we see two more games slip into next year. Don't worry, we find plenty. Kinda.

Game of the Week showcases the likes of Two Point Campus, Devolver's latest indie darling Cult of the Lamb, spooky rogue-lite Saturnalia, the glorious Voyage and the fantastic laundy/arcade management sim Arcade Paradise.

THQ's rather good Showcase is also examined as we choose our favourite game reveals from the event and what we could get excited about seeing at the newly announced 'Disney / Marvel Games Showcase' this September.

The quiz also makes its triumphant return, Kat says fancy words like 'block' and Tom's life is changed forever when he discovered the existence of Squirrel With A Gun.

The PSN Store is Joke | Game Pass Family Plan incoming? | EA double down on their backtracking

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 13:05:23 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Miles takes the reigns as he entertains Tom, Josh and the returning Sean damn Davies to talk the weeks gaming news.

First up the gang expand on Sean's recent article about the state of the PSN store. We open up the store to a bunch of shovelware and asset flip Trophy grabs, whilst full games are getting buried under these worthless experiences. Should Sony be doing more to get these games off PSN? Or are they proving successful enough to warrant their place?

Elsewhere, we discuss the benefits of the new Xbox Game Pass Family Plan, currently in beta in a small number of countries but may be available in more countries soon. We're excited to share Game Pass with others but do we get where Xbox can make money from this and do they even need to?

Elsewhere Miles talks about the upcoming DLC for Back 4 Blood and how he's ever-so slightly optimistic about it and of course we have talk about whatever the hell EA are doing now to double down on their 'single players are good actually' backtracking...

STRAY Spoiler Special

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 21:35:15 GMT

In this very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and brand new official FInger Gunner Josh Thompson get together to talk everything Stray, Annapurna Interactive and Blue Twelve Studio's rather lovely adventure cat game STRAY.

We talk everything we liked, everything we didn't, what could be improved upon for a sequel, some ridiculously annoying Trophies (and whether or not you have the energy bills to complete a particular one) and much much more.

If you've played the game to completion, jump in! If not, come back when you have! We promise it won't take you too long.

Stadia is Coming To An End....Maybe | Lara and the Tomb Raider(s)? | Some Big GTA 6 Details!

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 22:35:19 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and whole heap of Lady GaGa, you'll just have to listen to find out if this is a Lady GaGa spoiler special or not....(spoiler: It nearly is...)

Still! We do remember that the podcast is about games so we talk whether or not we're seeing the endgame of Google Stadia and where Google went wrong along the way, even though they had the damn goods to deliver. Elsewhere there are some interesting tidbits floating around about the brand new Tomb Raider game, with Miles and Rossko both in agreement it all sounds pretty interesting following the cracking reboot trilogy. We also get into the fresh details of GTA 6 and Rockstar's much improved working conditions.

There's plenty to get excited about here, along with a longer-that-it-should-be discussion about Linkin Park which, as tangents so often do with us, may lead into a brand new podcast. There's always something to talk about, eh?

Stray Review(s) | Why Are We Paying £70 For The Last of Us? | Ubisoft's Ship is Sinking.....

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 21:57:24 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns to the hosting chair alongside Kat and Miles to get deep into the weeks news and share their thoughts on this weeks games..so, um, same as ever really.

This week we talk Ubisoft's rather terrible no good very bad year continues to be an absolute shit-show with a bunch of delays and cancellations leaving their release slate fairly barren for the upcoming release windows, whether or not we're ok with the full roster of MultiVersus characters costing £200 at launch(!), Naughty Dog jumping through their own hoops to release a 10-minute gameplay video for The Last of Us Part I to get a hold of the leaks that have got out there and whether or not we're still debating whether or not £70 is a justifiable price point for a near ten year old game re-release and of course with Aloy's motion capture artists returning to the studios is their Horizon Forbidden West DLC on the way? We discuss.

Elsewhere we talk the games we've been playing (alongside Stray - which gets its own section and you may be surprised to hear what we actually think of it) such as Miles's time with Toy Soldiers HD and Rossko getting back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons and having an absolute blast with Hypercharge Unboxed (which he calls Hypercharge Unlocked on the podcast because he's an idiot).

There's also some major recommendations and Kat returns with a 'siblings in games' quiz which will test your metal. Maybe.

Finger Guns Celebrates DYNASTY WARRIORS with Ethan Lawrence

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 01:45:22 GMT

They said it couldn't be done. We thought it would never happen. Hell, we thought they were kidding. No, we really did. But here we are. Our own Miles Thompson and his literal celebrity co-host Ethan Lawrence have actually found time in their very busy schedules to talk for nearly two and a half hours all about Koei Tecmo's gloriously over-the-top hack and slash series Dynasty Warriors.

Essentially, everything you need to know about the series is included here, along with a whole lot of discussion about things that aren't all related to the series but is kept into the final cut because well, why not, something had to pad this one out.

For the hardcore, Miles and Ethan get into extreme detail about the game, the novels, their legacy and their importance to gaming as a whole. Also, Ethan is topless the entire time. Of course, this is an audio medium so you won't see such things, but you're made aware fairly on. Keep that in mind as you listen, it makes it all far more sexy. Sexier than you could ever imagine two guys talk about Dynasty Warriors for nearly 150 minutes. It's quite something.

You're gonna love this, don't miss it.

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 00:57:45 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast our own Kat takes the hosting reigns alongside Miles, Tom and super-guest Josh Thompson as they dissect the weeks big news including PlayStation finalising their acquisition of Bungie, what does it all mean? We discuss. along with PlayStation also revealing their customer loyalty program PlayStation Stars which is definitely not NFT's they have said so...maybe.

Also Kat continues her playthrough of the indie darling Hue.

Also how did Kat miss Scott Pilgrim vs The World returning?!

Stranger Things Season 4 Spoiler Special

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 10:40:07 GMT

In this very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko and Tom welcome special guests Dani and Shannon - all the way from the United States! That's in America! - to talk absolutely everything Stranger Things 4. In this very heavy spoiler special (seriously, don't listen until you've watched it), the team get into their favourite moments, the niggles that made it slightly less than absolute perfection, what the ending could possibly mean for the very unfortunate town of Hawkins Indiana and what could possibly be coming for the shows final season in 2024.

And there's tangents, because of course there is. We love a tangent. See you in the upside down.

Nacon Connect Highlights | To The Depths With Skull and Bones? | Rockstar Focusing Fully on GTA 6

Sun, 10 Jul 2022 21:46:08 GMT

This week on the pod Rossko, Kat, Miles, Tom and Greg get together to talk what's available in a fairly barren week of news. First up we discuss the re-reveal of Skull and Bones and its bonkers release date (the day before Ragnarok?!), if we have any level of hype for the game and what we're looking forward to, if anything, from Ubisoft's long-gestating pirate adventure.

We also talk our highlights from the Nacon Connect show, with a fair few games looking pretty damn exciting from one of the more prominent AA studios around at the moment. There's a lot to look forward to.

Elsewhere Rockstar have been sharing news that they're starting to ramp up production on GTA 6 with the news that Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV remasters were planned before decided to be canned in order to focus on GTA 6. Would we have liked to have seen them see the light of day or has the Definitive Edition Trilogy put to bed any interest in shiny Rockstar remasters?

In our Game of the Week Greg talks about jumping into Disco Elysium again, Tom has hit a bit of a gaming wall (happens to the best of us), Miles finally talks about his time with horror adventure MADISON, Kat finally experiences the wonderment of Tetris Effect and Rossko is exploring Hope County again in Far Cry 5 whilst jumping into the frenetic madness of Arcadegeddon.

We've also got another game music quiz (this time remastered and professionally done and stuff), we briefly get into Kojima being mistaken for an actual assassin, Greg shares his festival fuelled weekend, Kat and Miles are getting ready for a graduation and Rossko, well, Rossko is editing podcasts and going to work. Such is life.

Ethan Lawrence Returns! | Let's Talk About Nintendo | Don't Send Your Dick To Game Devs

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 23:25:05 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat and Miles are joined once again by our very good friend Ethan Lawrence to discuss the weeks news, take on a brand new quiz and get particularly ranty about a company that rhymes with Bereckonic Darts...any guesses?

We get into the absence of any concrete Nintendo news throughout the year, where they currently stand in the gaming space and if we're excited about their future output that we currently know about. There's a weird void hanging over Nintendo right now and we hope they can fill it with news for their fanbase soon enough. Elsewhere we remind the gaming populist not to send pictures of their dicks to female game developers just because they haven't got a release date yet for their little video game they're excited about, I mean for f*** sake guys. Also, Ethan gets his own segment going after EA for their horribly misjudged tweet this week and we take on Kat's brand new musical 'Heardle'-esque quiz with some truly brutal results for our host. Yes, you'll definitely do better than him this week.

There's also a brand new segment called 'In Defense Of...' where we each have a minute to talk about a game that we think is hugely underrated and do our best to encourage each other to play it. This one definitely doesn't go off the rails at all. Nope. Not this one.

We also talk hands-on with that glorious indie puzzler Hue, Miles gets into a bit more Spellforce, Ethan shares his love for a brand new Early Access title on Steam called Vampire Survivors and Rossko has all but given up on Demon's Souls after what could be argued as a 'valiant effort'. Maybe.

Oh, and we call time on the podcast as a whole (not really) and birth a brand new one, but you'll have to listen to find out what we're up to next. Seriously, we could give you a million guesses and you'd never work it out..

What's The Point of Video Games? | PS Plus Premium Impressions | A Plague Tale: Requiem Has A Date!

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 22:23:53 GMT

On the 160th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles and Kat are once again back together to talk the weeks gaming news and also get into some deep philosophical questions such as, well, what's the point in video games? We debate this massive question and come up with, frankly, a very simple answer. Elsewhere we review the new PlayStation Plus tiers and give our honest opinions on which one you should go for and we get very excited about A Plague Tale: Requiem's recent gameplay showcase and release date.

In Game of the Week, Miles sings the praises of the excellent Neon White, Kat talks finally jumping into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Rossko has explored PS Premium up and down and shared his early impressions on the likes of Syphon Filter, Guardians of the Galaxy, Demon's Souls and more! There's also the third and final 'celebrities in video games' quiz, with brand new Finger Gunner Tom writing the quiz, Kat hosting with Miles and Rossko taking it on. Yikes.

There's also the final episode of our podcast within a podcast Hello There, as the whole team weigh in on the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Resident Evil HYPE! | Final Fantasy VII HYPE! | Dragons Dogma 2 HYPE!

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 22:13:34 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Tom - making his main podcast debut - get into the weeks news, catching up with the recent showcases and talking the rest of 2022/2023. There's a whole lot to get into as we dissect the Capcom Showcase for Exoprimal and Resident Evil news, the Final Fantasy VII Showcase for FF VII Remake 2 (or Rebirth), Crisis Core 7 Reunion Edition or whatever-the-hell-it's-called along with Tom and Miles telling Rossko what's so special about Dragon's Dogma ahead of the sequels release at some point in the future.

Elsewhere we talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, Kat talks finally jumping into Life is Strange: True Colours, Rossko delved into the Steam Next Fest swathe of demos and picks his favourites and Miles gets a little disappointed with the latest Jurassic World Evolution 2 DLC.

There's also a brand new quiz, more food recommended, the return of our Obi-Wan Kenobi review podcast (which now has a title!) and Rossko shares a wild story that got him off Fortnite...whatever could it be? Wait until the very end to find out. Enjoy the ep!

SO. MANY. GAMES. | Xbox-Bethesda Recap | Best of the Rest (Devolver, Future Games Show, Wholesome...)

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 21:47:02 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we do a quick zoom through every single goshdarn announcement made by a game developer this week. Ok, not really, but we certainly pick our highlights from what we've seen from the shows, along with a further breakdown of the Xbox Showcase, now with 100% more Rossko along with Miles and Kat, seemingly a little annoyed she's no longer the host of the podcast. We even fit in a quiz and a game of the week segment where Rossko waxes lyrical about the musical hell shooter Metal: Hellsinger, Miles talks getting into Horizon Forbidden West and Kat deep dives into her disappointment with Jumanji....don't mess with Kat and Jumanji. Just. Just don't.

And our 'Podcast-In-A-Podcast' where we review Obi-Wan Kenobi returns and well, Rossko and Miles aren't happy..

There's so many games to discuss, we should probably get into it. See you in there, Finger Gunnners. Gunnerers? Fingerers..? No, not that last one. Never. Oh dear. Somebody stop me typing please I can't stop just make it en......

Summer Game Fest 2022 Reaction Special

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 22:40:42 GMT

In this very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Toby, Miles and the almighty return of Sean Davies get together to talk everything they saw at the 2022 Summer Game Fest. Were there shocking announcements? Not really. Anything we weren't expecting? Not at all. Stuff we could have gotten excited about if it hadn't leaked? Oh most definitely, but what was on display was still hugely exciting, and the gang get together to discuss every single reveal and what they're most excited for.

Is There a Future for Sonic Games? | GoldenEye 007 is coming | Crash Returns! Maybe...

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 22:09:27 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Toby get deep into the weeks biggest news including a recap of our favourite moments from Sony's State of Play livestream, GoldenEye being very close to returning after Achievements were spotted being popped, a possible return to Crash Bandicoot for Toys For Bob and where we see the future of Sonic games after a less than stellar reception to Sonic Frontiers gameplay. A very crestfallen Rossko tries to build his positivity up, but there's very little to work with anymore.

Elsewhere we get into our rather conflicting thoughts on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Rossko talks The Boys and Kat talks her first few hours with the Sweeney Todd-inspired cooking sim Ravenous Devils, along with a nice Final Fantasy XVI update from Toby.

In Game of The Week this week Rossko talks being away from his console and exploring more of the Apple Arcade, Miles talks jumping into exploding foxes in Samurai Riot, Kat discusses her quite shocking rage being created by the rather unique Super Perils of Baking and Toby talks his continuing adventures in Death Stranding. Oh, and we talk our first few days of the new season of Fortnite. Cus Miles and Kat are playing it now, if you didn't know....

See you at Summer Game Fest!

It's mind-boggling stuff). Elsewhere Miles talks about his time with RoboWars, Kat shares her thoughts on the rather brilliant Unpacking and Rossko shares his thoughts on Soda Crisis.

There's your usual bout of news, gossip, recommendations and the quiz returns in super style thanks to Kat. It's all happening this week and it's a 90 minute joyfest you probably should take the time to listen to, to be honest. Do you feel the need?

Sun, 22 May 2022 21:12:56 GMT

We're back! After a week-long hiatus (because life very much got in the way) The Finger Guns Podcast triumphantly returns, with Rossko and Greg double-teaming this weeks news to attempt to try and make sense of it all. Fortunately for Greg, our news rundown was very much focused on his particular interests, with a Death Stranding sequel being seemingly spoiled by Norman Reedus himself and Kojima's reaction, Trophies confirmed to be coming to certain classic PS1 titles as part of PlayStation's brand new Plus tier service, The Witcher 3 getting its shiny next-gen upgrade seemingly this year and some possible Final Fantasy VII news arriving next month. He got himself a chance to actually talk without shrugging and saying 'no', which is a delight (nothing to do with the fact that he was the literal only person that could make it on this week).

There's no quiz, but there's a fun recommendations section where we once again rip into Star Wars, because why the hell not, eh? There's nothing else to talk about at the moment.

Enjoy the ep!

The LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga Special

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 21:10:48 GMT

Hello there! Join Rossko and Miles as they travel to a galaxy far, far away and discuss everything you need to know about LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. We've delved very deep into this game already and while there's still so much more to see, Rossko and Miles share everything they love (and everything they don't) about the game so far.

There's also a deep discussion about the movies themselves and whether the sequels will weather the storm, much like the now beloved prequels did. We shall see. Enjoy the episode and may the force be with you. And all the stud multipliers. MMMMMMM....stud multipliers....

No, PS+ Wasn't 'Devastating' for Oddworld Soulstorm | Portal 3?! | What's Next for Hello Games?

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 23:07:16 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're back to business with Rossko, Kat and Miles talking through the weeks news including Lorne Lanning getting all pent up about the lack of sales for PlayStation Plus' Oddworld Soulstorm. He blames the subscription service for the lack of genuine sales for the game, but was it really going to hit those numbers without it? We discuss. We also chat CD Projekt Red and their latest misstep with once again delaying their Witcher 3 next-gen upgrade and blaming other developers for the delay. Are they ever going to regain their power over fans in the industry again? Also, there's rumours abound that Portal 3 may just be a thing someday and well, we gush about just how much we'd love that happen. And then there's Hello Games who have come out this week to say they're working on yet another 'impossibly ambitious' game to follow No Man's Sky. We absolutely believe them, but should they be raising hopes already? This one is years off, are we having another Sean Murray media hype storm incoming?

Elsewhere Miles talks jumping back into Back4Blood to check out their new DLC, Kat talks chilling out in the wonderment of Lake on PS5 and Rossko has discovered Apple Arcade, his thoughts are a little worrying. He also gets into his time with the cracking old-school racer, Slipstream.

Kat is also back one again with a quiz, we talk far too much about Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually and we actually recommend some video games. What a week!

Episode 150 featuring Chris Scullion and Ethan Lawrence!

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 23:37:22 GMT

Well, we've made it. On this landmark 150th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Greg, Miles and Kat are joined by After Life and Bad Education star (also massive gamer) Ethan Lawrence and the almighty Chris Scullion, writer of the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and the upcoming N64 Encyclopedias, Official Nintendo Magazine legend and all round nice to celebrate this enormous milestone. On the pod we get into weeks news including the announcement of Kingdom Hearts IV, the Unreal Engine 5 Tomb Raider announcement, the return of Monkey Island in erm, The Return of Monkey Island and Xbox's Mentoring Programme, which sounds great until you actually dig a little deeper and then, well...

We of course have our Game of the Week (where Chris shares some exciting tidbits about his time with Nintendo Switch Sports so far), a *very special* edition of Kat's Quiz and just have a general good time talking all about video games past and present whilst we quiz Chris on just how he puts together his insanely detailed console books. It's one hell of an episode, and if you've been along for the ride for every single episode or if you've just joined us recently, thank you so much for allowing us to reach this milestone. We've had a blast, and we hope you have too.

To episode 200!

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Review | E3 Cancelled | Sony Hunting More Acquisitions?

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 21:53:02 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast, in a galaxy far, far away..

Wait a minute no, ignore that. Hello! Welcome to episode 149 of The Finger Guns Podcast where Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news, whilst primarily all being very excited for this weeks release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Rossko has been lucky enough to have been playing it all weekend so he shares his thoughts on the game - with a full review you can read on our website - along with Miles discussing his time with Weird West and Kat rolling the dice in Lost in Random.

The guys also talk the full cancellation of E3, whether or not Sony will soon announce more acquisitions and if and when they've cracked PS3 emulation on PS5, are we ever going to see it? There's plenty of games we'd love to play again from that era, so time will tell on this one.

Elsewhere there's a food-related games quiz (purely because Kat was hungry whilst making it), we talk about Star Wars far too much, Kat recommends a new fizzy drink after dismissing one last week, Miles has finally found Archer and sings its praises and Rossko gets all hype about his Sunday night seeing Sonic The Hedgehog 2. It's quite the love-in.

DLC! PlayStation Plus 'Spartacus' Confirmed - Our Full Reaction

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 21:24:55 GMT

It's happened! Sony have finally, finally confirmed the existence of PlayStation Spartacus and have renamed it PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium. Each offering differing options, the brand new service lands in June and Rossko, Kat and Miles just had to get on the a pod to talk about it (and so we weren't a week late to the news, and stuff...y'kno).

So join us as we get giddy at the possibilities of what could be added to this service from PlayStation's long, long history, and marvel at the very thought of Trophies being added to classic PlayStation games. Can Miles ever get a Platinum for Metal Gear Solid 1? Only time will tell.

Get hype! Thanks for listening to this exclusive cut down episode. Normal service shall be resumed from next week. Love ya work.

OUTTAKE: How Hard Is It For Five People To Pick A Buzzer?

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 21:05:48 GMT

Now then, we don't normally share our outtakes because well, they're outtakes for a reason, but this was a funny one. Whilst we were preparing for the quiz in this weeks (28/3) podcast, it took an abnormally long time to get everyone ready as we all forgot we needed a buzzer for the quiz. Bizarrely, the entire pod squad were together for the first time and none of us remembered that's how we do things.

Well, Rossko cut it out of the edit because well why would you keep it in? It's just nonsense. But what it is, is funny nonsense so here, have a listen to six grown-ass human adults trying to find buzzers and the absolute carnage that ensued.

Love ya work. Thanks for listening.

The Cost of Game Pass for Publishers | Why Aren’t We Excited for Suicide Squad? | Games and the Work/Life Balance

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:29:49 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is here! The full podcast line-up is together for the very first time this year as Greg, Toby and Sean reunite with Rossko, Miles and Kat to talk the weeks news, take on a dastardly Kat Quiz and share our Games of the Week including Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Stranger of Paradise (CHAOS!), The Ascent on PS5, Elden Ring, Jedi Fallen Order on PS5 and Lost Ark (along with a quick shoutout to House of the Dead Overkill?)

In the news we talk the cost for publishers to put their games on Xbox Game Pass, if it’s really worth it for them to line themselves with the endless Microsoft money when the sales dry up a little, if publishers are really getting their moneys worth with what Microsoft offer them and if we could ever see Sony competing with the kind of money Microsoft splash around for games to be on the service. Do they even stand a chance? We discuss.

Elsewhere we talk the delay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to 2023 and how all but one of us aren’t really that bothered. Why aren’t we hyped about a new Rocksteady game in the Arkham universe? Something feels just a little off with it and we can’t quite put our finger on it. We also get rather hyped that this might just mean Hogwarts Legacy hits its planned 2022 release date. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

Our main topic of the week is all about us, though. Sorry about that. We talk writing reviews, playing games we want to play versus the games we *have* to play, whether we can find that balance and not get ourselves burned out by even trying and where the balance leaves us even enjoying the games, even when they are ‘work’. It’s a deep discussion where we’re fairly frank with our answers and well worth a listen.

See you on the other side.

Is Gaming Stigma Still A Thing? | Ghostwire: Tokyo Impressions | Hogwarts Legacy State of Play Reactions

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 01:28:40 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles and the returning Kat discuss the weeks news, and primarily get very giddy about the first look at Hogwarts Legacy gameplay. Kat and Rossko are fairly big Potterheads, so yeah, they're a tad excited. Elsewhere, Miles spent the weekend reviewing a small game called Ghostwire: Tokyo and had an absolute blast, he shares his adventures with us during Game of the Week, along with Kat updating us on her Forbidden West journey and Rossko talks the Grand Theft Auto V 4K update. We also talk the rather upsetting news of hostile work conditions at Moon Studios, People Make Games and two more Annapurna studios. It continues to be unsurprising in the gaming industry, though we still have plenty to say about what's being shared. Our main topic of the week though focuses on gaming stigma, and if we're still a little hesitate to tell people we're still video game fans with certain people in our lives certain we should have grown out of it by now. As we continue to defend our favourite hobby, will there ever be a time where we won't need to?

Enjoy the episode. It's a beast.

State of Play Recap | Crystal Dynamics take control of Perfect Dark | Elden Ring is winning 2022

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 22:41:45 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko and Miles take on the weeks news in the years first double header, 'two guys just talking games' episode of the pod this year. We get into the PlayStation State of Play and discuss what we're very excited for (TMNT!) and what we could probably live without (Gigabash?) and get deep into what we're looking forward to seeing in this weeks Hogwarts Legacy State of Play presentation. We also talk the absolutely staggering success of Elden Ring and what it's done right to convince the world it's 'accessible, actually', even though it really, really isn't. Finally there is breaking news today with the news that Xbox developer team The Initiative are quickly falling the heck apart whilst in the middle of developing Perfect Dark. Have Crystal Dynamics fully taken over? With high profile exits in the new Xbox studio, we ask just what on earth is going on in Joanna Dark's world? It all sounds a bit dodgy. There's also our Games of the Week including Far: Changing Tides, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dying Light 2 and a few more just to pad out cus there's only two of us and well, we try and figure out how many Bruge jokes we can get in a single episode. We need more people next time...

BAFTA Game Awards Nominations Reaction | The Game Industry Condemns Russia | PlayStation Showcase Predictions

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 00:04:06 GMT

On this weeks Finger Guns Podcast the power trio of Rossko and the now Covid free Kat and Miles return to the pod booth to talk the weeks gaming news, primarily all about the BAFTA Game Award nominations and who we think will win every single category - also how the hell did It Takes Two get so many nominations? We discuss. Elsewhere we chat about the possibility of an upcoming PlayStation Showcase and what we'd like to see - shocking nobody Stray and God of War are mentioned - and if we think this will be the place Sony finally drop their upcoming Spartacus subscription service. We also talk a huge amount of game industry companies pulling their products from Russian shelves in the midst of the horrendous invasion of Ukraine. Are they targeting the right people? It's a difficult thread and we try to make it easier to digest. Finally, Miles talks the brilliant What Lies in the Multiverse and Kat finally gets her long overdue moment on the pod to gush all about Horizon Forbidden West.

Sun, 27 Feb 2022 22:52:09 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're back after a two week hiatus and not only that, Toby and Greg are back too! The elusive duo return along with Miles and Rossko as we talk everything we've played the last couple of weeks and well, not much else. Thankfully there's a ton to talk about with a massive fortnight of releases including Greg and Miles' impressions of FromSoftware's rather big release which people are calling Elden Ring, Toby and Rossko (with write-in contributions from Sean and Kat) gush over Horizon Forbidden West an awful lot. Like an awful lot. Elsewhere Greg expands on his Martha Is Dead review with some additional thoughts on the controversial horror game, Rossko talks his pre-review impressions of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Miles discusses Edge of Eternity and Toby misses his friends in Persona 5 Strikers. So much game chat! Almost like we're a gaming podcast, eh?

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 23:07:09 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Kat and Miles get together once again to talk the weeks gaming news, from Nintendo's first Direct of the year and what we're excited to play from it to whatever it is Capcom may be teasing with this countdown website. New Street Fighter? Resi 4 Remake? We've no idea but we're very excited to find out. We're also rather hyped for a certain video game out this week called Horizon Forbidden West, as we check out the major review scores and discuss why it took so damn long for Horizon Zero Dawn to hit 20 million sales. We also talk our play sessions with Grapple Dog, Dynasty Warriors 9, Dying Light 2, Not Tonight 2 and SIFU. Oh, and McDonald's makes another appearance in our recommendations. We're nothing if not consistent. Enjoy the ep!| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

GTA VI - The Wishlist | Sony and Live-Service IP’s | Journey / Edith Finch devs start new studio

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 22:47:22 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and returning hosts Toby and Greg gang together to talk the weeks gaming news including the official confirmation of GTA VI exisiting. What would we like to see from the next Rockstar behemoth and can they reinvent the wheel once again? We discuss. Elsewhere we talk what Sony IP's we can expect to get the live-service treatment over the next four years along with the IP we hope they avoid. It's a sensitive subject, so we tread somewhat carefully through this one. We also talk Gardens, a brand new studio created by developers from Journey and What Remains of Edith Finch, a very exciting new team that could create some wonderful games. We talk what we'd like to see from them. Our games of the week includes Miles checking out Dying Light 2, Toby finally playing Life is Strange, Greg's time with the upcoming Olli Olli World, Kat 'experiencing' The Dead Tree of Ranchiuna and Rossko continuing his retread of the Uncharted collection. Plus there's a quiz and you'll never guess who wins it...

It's time for another Spoiler Special here at Finger Guns and this time we're focusing on the final season of After Life which is available to watch on Netflix. Joining Rossko to get into the minutia of the story is James himself, Ethan Lawrence! We talk this important questions like being half naked in bath trying to be professional with David Earl, the directing style of show creator Ricky Gervais, Covid restrictions, whether or not Brandy the dog is in fact a very good girl (spoiler, she totally is) and every story revelation in the heartbreaking finale. We also talk a fair bit of video games, because we couldn't stray away too far from what we do around here and thankfully, Ethan is a huge gamer and has some takes on Final Fantasy which may leave you in shock and awe. Maybe. Thanks so much for Ethan for joining us, as mentioned above the final season of the brilliant After Life is now available on Netflix. If you haven't seen it yet, then obviously don't listen to this episode and come back when you have. Oh, and be kind.Ethan Lawrence on Twitter: @EthanDLawrence

Microsoft / Activision - The Fallout | Is Game Pass Becoming ’Straight to DVD’? | Battlefield 2042 goes Free-To-Play

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 01:33:26 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat and Miles talk through the fallout of the enormous Microsoft / Activision acquisition, what it means for Game Pass, PlayStation and consumers in general and follow up on updates since the reveal. Plus we get Miles' take on the madness of the weeks biggest news. We also talk Battlefield 2042's rocky launch and how it's most likely going free to play very soon. Rossko also shares his concerns that Game Pass is being used as a 'straight to DVD' service by third-parties worried their games won't perform and how it's bringing down the value of the service as a whole. Elsewhere Miles talks his week with Blackwind, Rossko gushes about taking photos of dogs in Pupperazi and having a miserable time with Rainbow Six Extraction and Kat shares her Unreal Life (along with dropping another classic line which you may not be able to get out of your head anytime soon).| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

Elsewhere we talk our games of the week including Gravity Chase and The Anacrusis there's one hell of a quiz from returning quizmaster Sean, and Kat creates yet another catchphrase which we're pretty sure you're not going to be able to get our of your head and also stops the podcast in its tracks with a *shocking* Star Wars reveal.

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 01:41:57 GMT

We're back! The Finger Guns Podcast returns for a brand new year and well, not an awful lot has really changed. In this absolutely batshit episode, Miles, Kat and Rossko talk the weeks news along with our 2022 predictions. We take a guess at what's going to be delayed, what may come out of nowhere and be a huge success and what critics may not actually like, despite the hype. We also get into a game of Higher or Lower, as we predict Metacrtific scores for the biggest games of the year. We've missed this, we hope you have to. Enjoy!

The Game Awards Reaction | The Switch Keeps Winning | The Matrix Awakens is incredible

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 23:22:54 GMT

In our penultimate podcast of the year, Rossko, Kat and Miles get together once again to talk everything Game Awards, from controversial winners to some cracking trailers. We break down the show and share our highlights, rather than going through every single thing because well, we haven't got that sort of time and the show wasn't all the interesting outside of the announcements. Elsewhere we get hype about the Switch's ridiculous sales numbers and just what is keeping its star afloat. We ponder the future of Mario Kart and Animal Crossing and if they even need new iterations before the Switch's life cycle comes to end and much more, including celebrating the brilliant Xbox Winter Game Fest and what we're looking forward to jumping into. Rossko talks his opening hours with Halo Infinite, Miles details Platinuming Deathloop and Kat talks exploring the magical world of Wytchwood. Oh, and Miles and Kat gush about the incredible Matrix Awakens UE5 demo. Also, would you subscribe to Spider-Man's OnlyFans? We ponder the big question. Come join us!

PlayStation Spartacus - A Game Pass Beater? | Toys For Bob Returning to Spyro | Halo Infinite Campaign hype!

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:54:52 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat and Miles dig through the weeks news and discuss all that we've been playing. First up, PlayStation could have a Game Pass competitor up their sleeve in the form of Spartacus, a service which combines PS Now and PS Plus along with adding some classic games. Will it have enough weight behind it to compete? We discuss. Elsewhere, Crash and Spyro remake team Toys For Bob - currently slaving away in the Call of Duty trenches - are advertising for a 'non-CoD' project? Kat does an insanely detailed deep dive in the news and we think we have a theory on what it could be. Plus, did you know the Halo Infinite campaign is out on Wednesday? You'll know by the end of this podcast, that's for sure. We also talk checking out the new Fortnite Chapter 3 Island (well, Rossko does), blasting our way through Archvale, Rubber Bandits, Heavenly Bodies and more. There's a whole lot to discuss, along with a brand new quiz! Can you do better than Miles and Rossko? Yes, the answer is definitely yes.| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 22:23:46 GMT

This week Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to tear through The Game Awards 2021 nominations - who we think we'll win, who should have been nominated and why on earth Forza Horizon 5 didn't get a Game of the Year shot. We also talk what reveals we'd like to see at the awards as well, let's be honest, that's the reason we're really tuning in. Elsewhere we talk 20 years of Nintendo's little console that could, the freakin' GameCube. Well, Kat and Rossko anyway. Miles doesn't have an awful lot to add...still! We talk an awful lot about RuPaul's Drag Race, more than we ever have before, Rossko gets excited about having tickets for Spider-Man No Way Home and well, talk musicals. Yeah, we're nothing if not diverse.| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

The industry condemns Activision | Rockstar apologise for GTA Trilogy | WB Games MetaVersus Revealed

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 23:47:27 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast…Rossko, Miles and the returning Greg and Toby talk the weeks news including the news Nintendo, Sony and Xbox have all condemned the reports coming from Activision Blizzard, but is it a case of all talk, no action?

We also get into another bad week for Rockstar Games as they’re forced to apologise for the state of the dreadful GTA Trilogy, is it enough?

We chat the horrid state of Battlefield 2042’s Steam reviews and what EA can do to turn the ship around, if anything at all.

Finally we get into some good news with the reveal of WB Games’ free-to-play fighter MetaVersus, a Smash-lite with a rather ridiculous cast of fighters. The free-to-play aspect is worrying us, but are we excited to give it a go?

We also talk our favourite games of the week such as Greg’s first few hours with Disco Elysium, Miles talks The Last Stand Aftermath, Toby gets to grips with Pinchcliffe Grand Prix and Rossko goes on (and on) about the Halo Infinite Multiplayer.

Ooft, it’s a good one. Enjoy!

20 Years of Xbox | Halo Infinite Multiplayer is here! | 10 Years of Skyrim

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 02:11:53 GMT

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Sean get together to celebrate 20 whole years of Microsoft's Xbox. There is plenty to discuss as we recollect our fondest memories and Rossko tries not to get too emotional. We also get rather excited about Halo Infinite Multiplayer shadowdropping (ish) during the Xbox Anniversary Celebration. It's here! It's really here! Elsewhere we get into another anniversary but this time for Skyrim. What's the games lasting appeal? Is Sean about to drop another 800 hours into it? And is there enough there to tempt new players that have never played before? We discuss. Our Games of the Week talk Epic Chef, Guardians of the Galaxy, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Forza Horizon 5. Plus there's a special Xbox edition of the quiz and we learn an awful lot of Stoke kebabs. It's quite the episode.

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 22:53:51 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Miles debate the weeks news and talk what on earth we've been playing. We get a handle on the ongoing crisis of Crystal Dynamics' Avengers game, whether or not we see a future and if we agree with Square-Enix's statement that they were the wrong studio to take it on. We also get a little-bit-but-not-really hyped for Spider-Man's inclusion in the game coming this month to PlayStation consoles. Elsewhere we share our impressions of Elden Ring after the fifteen minute gameplay reveal landed this week. Sean and Rossko don't have experience in From Software titles, are they excited? We find out. Elsewhere Sean talks Let's Build A Zoo, Miles and Rossko share their thoughts on Call of Duty Vanguard and Rossko might just have a new game of the year contender in Unpacking.

Plus there's a quiz about game weapons and well...let's just say it doesn't go well for one of us.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles and Kat get together to talk the weeks major gaming news, waxing lyrical about the latest updates in the torrid world of Cyberpunk 2077 and Amy Hennig finally landing a brand new game which just happens to be a Marvel IP! The possibilities are endless and we can't wait to see what she has planned. We also talk 25 years of Tomb Raider, with superfan Kat sharing her personal experiences of the series and also setting a fiendish Tomb Raider quiz for Miles and Rossko. Who comes out on top? Well, you're just going to have to listen. We also talk Jon Favreau's Chef and a little bit of Limp Bizkit, because that's all you'll ever need. Oh and we talk hands-on with Iron Harvest on PS5, finally getting around to playing Bugsnax and Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality.

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 22:18:14 GMT

Hello friends and lovers and welcome to episode 129 of the Finger Guns podcast. In this week's episode, Sean, Kat and Miles convene to discuss all of the weeks hottest gaming news. To begin with, they talk about their game of the week which sees the trio deep dive on Pumpkin Jack on PS5, the Crysis Remastered Trilogy and Echo Generation. Sean also brings the fire in a new trivia quiz for Kat and Miles to battle over.

Once a quiz master has been crowned, the team get into this weeks hot topics including:

The Uncharted Movie Trailer on a scale of bad to terrible, you decide.
Sir Trevor McDonald is the next GamesMaster and some of us were too young to even remember the show. The shame.
Rumour has it that Splinter Cell is returning. Can Ubisoft even make a game that fans will want these days?
Halo Infinite got a story trailer - are we excited yet?
Sony are likely going to make more acquisitions soon - who should they add to PlayStation Studios?
The Wu Tang Clan are involved in a new Xbox video game?
Our favourite video game mini-games/side games (this brings back mild trauma for Miles)
All of the releases for the next week

EGX 2021 Review | PlayStation Wants to Reach 100 Million Players? | A New Sony ‘AAA‘ Remake Incoming

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 23:15:21 GMT

On episode 127 of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Kat and Miles talk the weeks gaming news, which has been fairly PlayStation centric. First up SIEE head Jim Ryan has stated he wants PlayStation exclusives to reach 100 million players, though he's not really painted any kind of picture of how he's going to do that. We investigate his quotes and see if we can find a hidden meaning in a rather impassioned statement with seemingly little to back it up. Elsewhere there's rumblings of another PlayStation remake incoming this Christmas thanks to a musician spilling the tea, though we're not entirely sure what it could be? Many fingers are pointing at Kojima (again), so we'll have to see what happens on that front. Sean went to EGX! We get the lowdown on a rather scaled down version of the UK's primary gaming event and see what was on show and what impressed Sean the most. We also talk what we've been playing this week including Miles' final thoughts on Back 4 Blood, Rossko's tour of Far Cry 6, Kat's disappointing time with In My Shadow and Sean's fascinating Anxiety Ware. Oh, and someone won the quiz...apparently. You won't be able to tell though.| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 17:26:19 GMT

The first day of EGX 2021 has wrapped up and Greg and Sean are down in the ol' big smoke to play all the games that the ExCel Centre has to offer.

It's no secret that this year's EGX is a touch different than previous events for obvious reasons. It might be smaller and a little sparser than the EGX events from "the before times", but there's still some quality games on show.

The chaps talk about all of the games they checked out on Day 1 of EGX including:

Broken Roads, You Suck At Parking, Arcrunner, Die By The Blade, Baldur's Gate 3, Rallyallylly, Katjepult, Alien Fireteam, Endlight, Core Keeper, Conway: Disappearance At Dahlia View, Stuffed, Harp Song, Gravity Commando & Back 4 Blood.

Konami Greenlight MGS / Silent Hill Remasters | PlayStation Trials Are Weird | Tokyo Game Show Recap

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 23:07:22 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Greg, Miles and Kat dissect the weeks news with all the professionalism, wit and vigour you've come to expect from us....or, we do our best to try and break it all down at least, right? We jump headfirst into the big Konami news doing the rounds with rumours of a Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater remaster apparently confirmed at the studio, a new Kojima produced Silent Hill and a retread of an old Castlevania game. Greg is excited for one of them, can you guess which one? Sean thinks this has been in the works for a while, so we may see these games sooner than we think. Elsewhere we talk the new PlayStation 5 trials, with Rossko talking up his time with the timed Death Stranding experience, which he wasn't particularly impressed by (the time given to the trials, not the game itself...). Kat also gets everyone up to date on the latest regarding Victor Miller's pursuit of his on copyright retrieval in regards to Friday the 13th and there's a pre-recorded segment with dear Toby all about the Tokyo Game Show. We also talk impressions of the Death Stranding Directors Cut, Insurgency: Sandstorm, Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan, A Juggler's Tale and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania.

What are Crystal Dynamics going to bring to the development? It's all very intriguing. Elsewhere we talk through the highlights of this weeks Nintendo Direct. There must have been some, right?

Kratos after Ragnarok | Quantic Dream x Star Wars? | THQ Showcase Recap

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 00:01:14 GMT

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Greg, Toby, Miles and Kat get together to talk the weeks news in the gaming multiverse. First up we recap the THQ Showcase and discuss the exciting titles announced and what's to come from the mad publisher that seems to own all the classic IP that nobody else wants. We also dig into Cory Barlog's confirmation that God of War Ragnarok will be the final Sony Santa Monica Kratos game and what that means for the character and the series going forward. What are Santa Monica going to do after Ragnarok and what is Kratos going to do next? We also talk about the randomness of a possibly Quantic Dream x Star Wars game.

It all gets a bit dramatic this week, don't miss it!| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

Redfall Leak | Call of Duty Vanguard Beta Impressions | Both Epic & Apple Lose Lawsuit

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 22:00:18 GMT

A new episode of the Finger Guns Podcast has appeared - and it looks strong.

On this week's podcast, Kat, Miles, Sean and briefly Greg (who had to leave to go and save the world of something, tsk!) discuss all of the week's hottest gaming news. They dig into the Apple vs Epic lawsuit judgement with hilarious results. They also discuss the recently leaked Redfall footage and the details they've uncovered. Moving away from the week's news, the remaining trio talk games that deserve a remaster including Bully and Blur as well as the gang's favourite gaming time travel gimmicks to celebrate the arrival of DEATHLOOP.

Of course the usual segments make a return: There's a fiendish 'guess the game' quiz with a surprising winner (not really), there's a run down on all of this week's important game releases (there's a lot) and the gang talk about their game of the week which includes Bus Simulator 21, Watch Dogs Legion, Life Is Strange: True Colours and our impressions of the Call of Duty: Vanguard PS5 beta.

It's a bumper episode so there's only one thing to do!

Use -> Listen. It's super effective!

Can You Copyright A Genre? | Skyrim Returns. Again. | Halo Infinite's Bare Bones Launch

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:41:51 GMT

This week Rossko, Toby, Kat and Sean get together to discuss the weeks news including Halo Infinite not launching with campaign co-op or Forge and where that leaves day one players. We get into the latest madness in the Abandoned saga and what the hell, Skyrim is back once again. We task Sean with explaining just what exactly is so appealing about the now 13-time released Bethesda epic. Our main topic of the week is Fortnite taking the Among Us genre and making it their own in Impostors. Well, we say making it their own, it's about as carbon a copy as you'll ever see. Can Among Us do anything about this? We discuss. Elsewhere the fact-based Fastest Finger First quiz returns with a fiendish edition designed purely to confuse Toby, Rossko and Sean get into the pros and cons of Haven holiday parks, Kat talks moving out whilst covering up holes in her wall and Toby has no stories at all to tell this week. He does talk hands-on with the Ghost of Tsushima Directors cut though. And Switch banger Road 96. And his continuing adventures in Returnal. Sean catches us up with what he's been playing whilst he's been away, Kat talks Necrobarista and Rossko gets into getting disturbed by Twelve Minutes. It's a beast. Enjoy!

We discuss. Elsewhere we talk our impressions of the PS5 at this point, where we see the console heading and what we'd improve (spoiler: A lot). We also share our impressions of art of rally on Xbox, Hades on PS5, Pile Up Box by Box and the awesome Synth Riders VR, along with Miles sharing his early thoughts on Blair Witch VR on PSVR.

Elsewhere we talk the weeks gaming news including what Sony are up to after they announced they have 25 games in development along with the latest Skull and Bones delay and EA’s announcement that the next Battlefield game is also going to last-gen as well as the shiny current-gen. There’s also brand new recommendations and we reveal our favourite ever game controllers.

Is It Worth Buying Day One Games Anymore? | Sony's PS3 / Vita U-Turn | Ubisoft Forward Wishlist

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 22:20:45 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we get deep into the weeks Days Gone news, namely its creator lamenting players for not supporting the new IP when it was £60. Should we be paying for new games when they're not as well reviewed as others? There's plenty to discuss here. We also get into the wild news that PlayStation have u-turned on the closure of the PS3 and Vita stores, along with the possible Square-Enix acquisition rumours. They've denied it..but what exactly is going on? Sean has a theory and it's well worth considering. Also Ubisoft Forward has been announced! What's our wishlist? There's plenty to speculate on. Also Rossko talks getting back into Xbox Game Pass, Toby has his own u-turn on Oddworld Soulstorm and Greg discusses his impressions of Resident Evil Village's time-limited demo.INDIE CORNER: The Forgotten City: STEAM Horatio Goes Snowboarding: STEAMDo Not Play This Game: STEAM| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

MLB 21 on Game Pass | Essential PS3 / Vita / PSP Games to Download | Indie Rezzed Presentations

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 23:05:40 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Sean, Greg, Toby and Rossko discuss the weeks news and what on earth we've been playing (including a game that we've actually managed to play together?!). We talk about the Xbox power move of placing former PlayStation exclusive MLB 21 onto Game Pass on Day One whilst it's full price on its native console and what it means for the future of PlayStation developed, but not published games. We also talk the recent Loot Box report and its damning indictment on the practice, and whether or not the UK government will take any notice at all. And as the PS3, Vita and PSP stores are closing, what's the essential games to download before they disappear forever? Greg, Sean and Toby weigh in. We also give our opinion on Outriders, Sean talks Before Your Eyes, Greg talks getting back into God of War 2018 on PS5 and Rossko continues to be frustrated with Crash 4. Oh, and there's a ton of indie presentations on the way that Sean breaks down in frankly incredible detail.

Episode 101 of the Finger Guns podcast has leapt out of the long grass - and it's super effective.

After a fastest finger first video game trivia quiz, the gang discuss the news that Ghost of Tsushima is getting a movie. They also run down the Game BAFTA award winners (Roki was robbed) and give impressions on both the Spring Future Games Show and the ID @ Xbox Twitch Indie Showcase. Finally, they dive into the Metacritic Publisher Report 2021 with a surprising trio heading the league tables.

This is all rounded off with an update on all the games releasing this week. We don't half spoil you.

Episode 100 - who'd have believed we'd get this far?

Ross gives his early impressions of Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins. This weeks gaming quiz is a little different too - it's fastest finger first!

We also dig into the hot topics of the week too:

Sony Unveil the PSVR 2 controller and we're impressed.
Square Enix Presents Announcements and Reactions
Are Tencent getting into the console market? A recent patent suggests they might be.

On this week's episode of the Finger b̶u̶n̶s̶ Guns podcast, Greg 'The Grenade' Hicks, Toby 'Assault Rifle' Anderson & 'Shotgun' Sean Davies are in residency.

Which Square Enix games will Forever Entertainment remake? Will we be seeing a return of Parasite Eve, Front Mission or Legacy if Kain?

Is gaming ready to go full digital? Has the pandemic accelerated that trend?

A new episode of the Finger Guns Podcast has appeared... it looks strong!

This week, Greg, Toby and Sean discuss Sekiro...again... before moving on to talk about the restructuring at Sony Japan Studio.

Finally, we chat about our most anticipated games for March 2021.

Nintendo Direct Highlights | EA buy Codemasters reaction | Mortal Kombat trailer

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:53:08 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is here as we tear through the weeks news. We go through our highlights of this weeks Nintendo Direct, with each member of the team picking a different highlight from the lengthy showcase. We also delve into EA's acquisition of Codemasters and what it means for the future of their franchises? Should we be worried? There's certainly cause for concern as the deal becomes official. We may not see huge differences but what's going to happen to Codemasters' franchises? Elsewhere we talk the Mortal Kombat trailer and how it looks like a fun time, if not the most exciting movie of all. Still, Sub-Zero freezing blood to stab his enemies will never not be awesome. We also talk hands on with Roller Champions on PS4, Project Triangle Strategy on Switch, Greg talks jumping back into SnowRunner, Rossko has started Immortals Fenyx Rising and guess what, Toby has been playing Sekiro. Yeah, it's a pretty groundbreaking announcement, eh?

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 01:31:19 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is here to talk the weeks gaming news. As Stadia closes their in-house studios what does this mean for the future of the platform? Is there anything Google can do to convince the masses that it's the way forward and what do they need to do if they won't be offering exclusive experiences? Elsewhere we deep dive into WB Games recent patent of its own Nemesis gaming mechanic. Should this be allowed? What does this mean for other games that use its system and should we really be ok with this? We talk it out. Elsewhere with the news that GamesMaster is returning to TV we ask what we'd like to see from the show and if it even has a place in the industry in 2021. Could it finally bring back video games to the mainstream TV audience? And who would we like to see as the GamesMaster him/her/theyself? There's also a brand new Trivia Challenge, Greg and Rossko talk jumping back into The Last of Us Part 2, Sean talks making the case for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Paul discusses returning back to the convoluted world of GTA Online and the Indie Corner focuses on Toby and Sean's highlights from the Steam Festival.

Reddit v Wall Street! | PS5 Scalpers Return Once Again | Roger Craig Smith departs Sonic

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:22:39 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Toby and Greg get into the weeks gaming news and for the first time ever talk stocks and bonds and hedge funds with the Reddit takeover of Wall Street. It's not strictly gaming news, but it's fascinating to see where Gamestop sits in the middle of this absolute madness and what the average Joe can learn about stock manipulation when you want video game retailers to stay in business. What a time to be alive. Elsewhere we talk the recent PS Plus announcement that the long-controversial Control Ultimate Edition will now drop as a free upgrade on PS5 after players bought it up beforehand. Are they entitled to a refund? We discuss. Alongside the news that TOBY GOT A PS5(!), we talk another week in which the scalpers have stolen consoles from under the noses of wanting consumers and whether or not it's up to the retailers to ensure it doesn't keep happening. We also pay tribute to Roger Craig Smith, hanging up the red speedy boots of Sonic The Hedgehog after 10 years and discuss his lasting legacy on the character and gaming in general. Also, 24 years of Final Fantasy VII!| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

This week on the 92nd episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, the whole gang is here to discuss and dissect the weeks biggest news, including a breakdown of the Resident Evil Showcase and if we just want Lady Dimitrescu to stamp on our necks and call us bad, bad men...um, we also talk the slightly odd looking RE:VERSE multiplayer reveal and Sean talks hands-on with the PS5-exclusive Village demo, Maiden. Also, is it still Resident Evil? We discuss. Elsewhere with the news doing the rounds that Sony Santa Monica are hiring for a second project, we speculate what that could be, along with what on earth Naughty Dog could be up to next. We then jump into the world of hypotheticals and choose our favourite classic Sony franchises that we'd like to see make a long-overdue comeback. There's also another random gaming Trivia Challenge, a delectable Indie Corner and Tony confirming to us all that he likes fetishes. This episode is a...is a whole lot.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Special - Multi-Console Impressions | Hilarious Bugs | CDPR's Apology

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 01:14:32 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we get down and dirty with Cyberpunk 2077, dedicated an entire episode to our impressions (on PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 and Stadia, no less) and what we think of the game so far. We jump into hilarious bugs we've found, the performance issues on each system and discuss our favourite characters and story arcs. We're all at differing points in the game so don't worry, this is a spoiler free zone. We also talk just what CD Projekt Red are going to do about the base-system versions, and after their somewhat lackluster response to the problems whether or not this game should have just been delayed until it actually was ready, like they said they were going to do back in 2012(!). We also talk games that you can play if you either don't want to play 2077 yet or have already binned it off which offer similar experiences. There's a mighty list of exciting games to jump into if you're holding for for the upcoming base system patches or the next-gen versions. Basically, this episode is a whole lot of Cyberpunk 2077. Strap in, opinions are HAD.

No Cyberpunk Reviews? | Exclusives 'ruining' games | Oscar Isaac is Solid Snake

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 01:34:57 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, on the eve of Cyberpunk 2077 launching we talk CD Projekt Red's decision to not hand out review code to press outlets. Is controlling the message the right thing to do? Can they be objective if there isn't anything to critique? There's much to discuss. Elsewhere after an article this week focused on how exclusivity is 'ruining' video games, we get into what exactly the means and if we agree with the statements made. Oh, and surprising everyone this week, Sony said they're focused on single player games and the internet went nuts. For some reason. We try and figure out why. In movie news we talk the recent Monster World movie controversy and Greg shares his thoughts on the news that Oscar Isaac has been cast as Solid Snake from his beloved Metal Gear Solid franchise. Elsewhere we have a shiny Nintendo Trivia Challenge, a terrific indie corner and more discussion about the year 1986 than we were expecting. Greg also talks returning to to Hitman 2, whether or not the highly anticipated Haven has lived up to Rossko and Toby's expectations, Sean shares his non-spoilery thoughts on the upcoming Unto The End along with getting giddy with Rossko about the new season of Fortnite.

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 02:00:30 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Toby delve into the weeks gaming goodness, primarily the fallout of Assassin's Creed Valhalla visual discrepancies between Series X and PS5. It's so exciting. We also talk the record breaking launches of the shiny next-gen consoles, along with trying to work out just how we're going to fix the godawful pre-order system in place to get your hands on these damn consoles. Also, HBO have ordered a full series of The Last of Us TV show, so the question has to be asked - who the heck is going to play Joel and Ellie? We throw out our ideas and decide it probably shouldn't be Hugh Jackman. Jeez. We also talk hands-on with Spirit of The North on PS5, Poker Club and Toby's continuing adventures with Code Vein. There's also a Trivia Challenge and Sean delves into the weeks coolest indie games.

Xbox Series X/S is here! | The collapse of Square-Enix's Avengers | Mass Effect returns

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 02:00:58 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're getting very excited for this weeks Xbox Series S/X launch, and we're joined for the first time by our review contributor Andy Manson to talk his excitement and what the main draw is for him picking up an Xbox Series S over a Series X at launch. What's the killer app on Xbox at launch (we come to a consensus, by the way as to what the answer would be)? We discuss along with looking ahead to the impending PS5 release on the 19th. It's all so close now! The hype is building at an alarming rate. We also talk the failure of Square-Enix's Marvel's Avengers and just what led the game to not be purchased by the masses. Are people missing out? Is it actually good? Rossko and Sean weigh in along with discussing what the game needs to do to get the back on board. Also, Mass Effect is back! Toby and Greg get excited educating Mass Effect n00b Rossko on why the remaster is in such demand and what the series needs to do to get the hardcore back after the somewhat 'fine' Mass Effect Andromeda. There's a lot to discuss, but don't worry, Sean still find time to throw together a Presidents in Video Games Trivia Challenge along with hands-on with Fuser, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, Dirt 5 and Chicken Police. All the games are coming out this week. Power your dreams, or something.

Have CDPR Overpromised with Cyberpunk 2077? | Is It The End for PSVR? | Watch Dogs Legion Impressions

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 01:54:00 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a full house as the team get together to discuss the weeks gaming news. We jump into the latest Cyberpunk 2077 delay and debate - rather passionately - whether or not CDPR overpromised on the sheer magnitude of the game and if it can genuinely run on OG consoles as well as their updated counterparts. We also get into Sony's recent comments regarding PSVR and if it means that there might be a discontinuation on the way for the platform without a replacement. Rossko, Paul and Sean also share their impressions of Watch Dogs Legion - with mixed results - and Greg talks his experience with the cloud-based version of Control on Nintendo Switch. There's also a 2019 video game quiz and a couple of Netflix show recommendations. This packed episode really has everything. We're so good to you.

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 01:44:39 GMT

It's Halloween time at the Finger Guns Podcast so Rossko, Greg, Sean and Toby talk through the scariest games they've ever played. Amazingly, it's pretty much all the exact same game. Can you guess what it is? We also talk the future of the Intellivision Amico and the Atari VCS. Do they have enough about them to make a dent in a year with two brand new mainstream consoles and who are they really for? If you had Amish American families on your bingo card, you better get ready to shout. Sean has also concocted a ghoulish Trivia Challenge sure to scare the bejeezus out of anyone brave enough to take on its quaking questions. We also talk hands on with Hades, Amnesia Rebirth, Roki on Switch and Immortals Fenyx Rising.Indie Corner;Strobophagia: https://bit.ly/3kxZKq9Siren Head Awakening: https://bit.ly/3mnJbxCShut In: https://bit.ly/3kygltY | ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingerguns

The Xbox Series X Runs Hot - Should We Be Worried? | PS5 Backwards Compatibility List Is Tiny

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 22:54:41 GMT

Got an hour to spare and want to listen to 3 people talk garbage about video games? *slaps roof of podcast* This podcast contains so much of that.

In this weeks episode of the Finger Guns podcast, Sean, Greg & Toby talk about their games of the week (MindSieze, FIFA 21, Seers Isle, Lucifer Within Us) before getting into some 'hot' news - the Xbox Series X runs hot - should we be worried? Seeing as though it's all the rage these days, the gang then discuss what video games would make good TV shows and round it off with a discussion about the PS4/5 backwards compatibility list - sure, it's small, but why is it needed at all?

That's all topped off by an obscure gaming general knowledge quiz and a brief mention of Bo Selecta!

Will Xbox Enhance Bethesda? | Miles Morales Upgrade Nonsense | TGS 2020 Wrap-Up

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 23:25:19 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Paul, Greg and Toby get a grip on the weeks news in the only way we know how, by having a fair idea of what we're talking about and then screwing that off to talk about anime. Between the film discussions though, we did find time to talk about Xbox's recent acquiring of Bethesda, you may have heard about it? We discuss what this means for their franchises going forward, if they can put a boot up the ass off Bethesda Software and where this leaves PlayStation's future output. There's a fair bit to discuss. Also we try and break down just how the bloodyhell you're going to be able to a shiny version of Spider-Man on your PS5 whilst owning two copies of the game and buying two copies of Miles Morales if stretched across both consoles. It's perfectly normal, honest. We break it down as easy as we can so that even we can understand it. Maybe. Finally Toby has spent the week keeping his eye on all the happenings at TGS 2020 and has come away with a round-up of his most anticipated titles and what we should be paying attention too. Including a game where you play as underwear being thrown around. Or something. Maybe that was just a dream I had. Enjoy the ep! We also talk hands-on with Mafia Remastered, the Switch version of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Toby discusses his thoughts on Night in the Woods, Paul has gotten back into The Crew 2 and Rossko has reignited his love for Rocket League. It's a good one.

Why Ubisoft Isn't Making Splinter Cell | PS4-PS5 Cross-Gen Games | The First Consoles We Bought

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 01:16:06 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Greg, Toby and Sean get together to discuss just what on earth Ubisoft have against making a new Splinter Cell. Is there a popularity concern? There shouldn't be, it would appear the entire industry is after a new adventure with Sam Fisher. We get deep into just why Ubisoft are probably holding back on giving our favourite three green eyed super stealthy super sleuth. Or something. Elsewhere we discuss this weeks revelation that major PS5 releases will also be coming out on PS4 day and date. What does this mean for PS5 purchases? Are we less hesitant to get in on the fun on launch day if we can just get the PS4 versions of Miles Morales and Sackboy? What about Horizon Forbidden West? Most importantly, is it reason enough to get mad at PlayStation (it's not)? Finally as we scramble to pay for these shiny new next-gen boxes we talk the first console we've ever bought with our own moneys and the stories that go along with them. There's also the easiest quiz Sean's ever thrown together and hands-on with Xbox Game Streaming, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Pendragon and, er, Crysis Remastered. Yikes.

The War on Fortnite | Halo Infinite Delay - Does It Matter? | Is Miles Morales A System Seller?

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 01:10:14 GMT

In this weeks jam packed Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Greg, Toby and Paul dissect the weeks biggest news and boy, is there a lot to get through. First up the Fortnite drama escalating between Epic, Apple and Google has reached monumental levels, and the team try to dissect who's really at fault and if we should really be caring at all about billionaire companies whining about each other. How will this affect the relationship between developers and Apple in the long run? We discuss. Also Xbox have had another big week with Halo Infinite announcing a delay, the Xbox Series X confirming a launch month and the leak of the Xbox Series S, we tackle each topic and try to determine what it all means. Does it even matter that Halo Infinite is delayed to the hardest of the hardcore? What exactly is Xbox's strategy this time around? There's much to get into. We also talk Control's refusal to offer the next-gen upgrade for free to the games current userbase, and instead charging an extra fee with an upcoming edition. Does this suck? And the answer is yes, by the way. Greg talks us through by exactly how much it sucks. And it's a lot. Finally, after Gary Whitta declared that Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn't a system seller for the PS5 compared to Halo Infinite we ask the question - Is Miles Morales a system seller for the PS5? The discussion goes places we didn't expect. Strap in. There's also a Dreamcast-based Trivia Challenge, voted for by our audience on Twitter and hands-on with Mortal Shell, the Marvel's Avengers Open Beta, Hyper Scape, definitely not FIFA 21 and Sean's final thoughts on Teenage Blob and The Milky Way Prince. Phew.

We're on Metacritic now), along with a look at our favourite moments from Sony's recent State of Play showcase (Hitman VR!). We also get deep into the alleged conditions Limestone Games have had to work under to create Aeon Must Die and whether it not it will ever see the light of day. Will it? The developers have shared their feelings, we try our best to sort through the insanity. Elsewhere, we try to lighted the mood by finally being able to talk about a new Rocksteady game! Suicide Squad has officially been confirmed and we throw it to Paul to try and talk through his disappointment that it isn't a single-player narrative driven Superman game. Still, we get a little excited about more Rocksteady and that's all that really matters. Oh, and we talk xCloud and Game Pass not coming to iOS because Apple are dicks. Finally we talk hands-on with Ghost of Tsushima, Fall Guys, Double Kick Heroes and much more. It's a busy week for video games, let's try and make sense of it, eh?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our 69th episode! For this we can only apologise, we get terribly disgraceful early on so quick warning, we are all five years old and there's no getting around that. Still! We talk the long wait discovering just how much these damn next-gen consoles are going to cost us and why it's taking Sony and Microsoft so very long to blink first and get the word out to us that have to buy the damn things. Are Microsoft even all the fussed how much the Series X is? Should they just be giving them away at this point? Have Sony learned their lesson from the PS3 launch? We shall find out soon, hopefully. Elsewhere we talk the fallout of the Xbox Games Showcase and talk about significant reveals after the fact, including Halo Infinite's multiplayer and the release date for Battletoads. We also talk our favourite news from gaming history, which gets a little emosh. Video games are cool and the gents have some great stories to share. Elsewhere we talk hands-on with Fall Guys, Rogue Company, Rocket Arena, Skully and many more. We play a lot of games, have a listen to find out just how many. Oh, and all the 69 references.

Was it enough to convince us to buy an Xbox Series X or just grab ourselves a Game Pass subscription? Is the hate for Halo Infinite justified? Did anything look like we wanted to play it? There's a mixed discussion on this one. On the flipside, we praise Xbox for their rather brilliant console launch indie line-up and what Sony need to do to compete. Elsewhere, Greg takes his turn in the Quizmaster hot seat with a fiendish 16-bit era Trivia Challenge and we talk all the games we've been playing this week from Carrion to Rogue Company.

Laura Bailey, You're Fantastic | Amazon's Fallout TV Series | Someone Publish Velocity Supernova

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 01:41:42 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Paul and Toby dissect the weeks gaming news and get rather heated about the discourse surrounding The Last of Us Part II. We wanted to show our appreciation for voice actress Laura Bailey and her sterling work in the game. There's not an awful lot else to say here regarding this segment, we just recommend you give it a listen .Elsewhere we talk the recently announced Fallout TV series coming to Amazon Prime. What do we want to see from it? is there a new story to be told in the Fallout universe? We get into it. We talk the real possibility of next-generation games starting at £70 as their recommended retail price. Are we going to spend that kind of money to play Horizon Forbidden West? Is the price of games balancing out the cost of development, we attempt to take a look at the issue a little more pragmatically. Finally we get very sad at the fact that Futurlab's ready to release sequel to Velocity 2X, Velocity Supernova may never see the light of day due to publishing issues. As the game has been teased by Futurlab themselves, we can only hope the game gets picked up by a publisher and become the biggest game on earth because of course it would it's a damn sequel to one of the best games of the generation, right? Come on, publishers. Goodness. Sean also sets a very difficult Video Game Movie Trivia Challenge, Rossko talks for an awfully long time about musical theatre and we talk hands-on with The Last of Us Part II, Fortnite Season 3, The Otterman Empire, Tower of Time, Death Come True, Neon Abyss, The Messenger, CrossCode, Hunting Simulator 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and more. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG. See you next time.

PS5 'Value over Price' - Should We Be Worried? | Are we still hyped for Cyberpunk 2077? | Xbox Lockhart details leaked

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:08:34 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang get together as we talk this weeks game news. Are we still hyped for Cyberpunk 2077 and Square-Enix's Avengers game? Both games had updates this week and after a long wait, we have a better idea about what to expect from each of the upcoming AAA titles, but are our hype levels still what they were when they were announced? We discuss. Elsewhere we talk about PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan's comments that the PS5 will focus on value rather than price. What does this mean? Should this worry us as those who have to pay out for the thing? What's the realistic number for us to jump in on day one? Does our hype for the next-generation of PlayStation games means we'll pay any price? Rumours abound, there's much to dissect. We also talk Xbox Lockhart, with an article on The Verge claiming its validity and specs, would y we pay for a lesser Xbox Series X when we can play most of its first-party line-up on our Xbox One systems anyway? This is a weird time for Xbox and they're gonna need to market this thing correctly if we're going to change our minds, because we have OPINIONS. There's a fantastic Trivia Challenge along with hands on with...*deep breath*...The Last of Us Part II, Control, Alien Isolation, Blair Witch on Switch, Willy Morgan, Grand Theft Auto 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Fortnite, Beyond Blue, Golf on Mars, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town, Tower of Time, Death Come True and, um, Bowling.

The Worthless Act of Review-Bombing | The Last of Us Part II Impressions | The Best Of Steam's Summer Sale

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 03:39:42 GMT

Quick heads up before we begin! We ran into several technical issues at the beginning of our podcast so Toby's section of What We've Been Playing has had to be removed, sorry for the inconvenience. Right, with that being said, welcome to Episode 63 of The Finger Guns Podcast! This week Rossko, Sean, Greg and Toby get deep into the weeks biggest games news, namely the release of The Last of Us Part II and our impressions of the game so far. Rossko, Toby and Greg delve into the games mechanics and share what they're liking and what they're not in Ellie's new, brutal adventure. There's a lot to get into (don't worry, it's all very spoiler-free) and Sean talks about why he's holding off on jumping in right now. Elsewhere, we want to get into the unnecessary act of review-bombing, the reasons behind it and what purpose it really serves the consumer, and those looking to make a purchase. Are the people who aren't part of the 'industry' really going to care? What brings a gamer to hate on a game so much they feel the need to push it on to other people? What can Metacritic do to combat it? Finally, Toby and Sean share their favourite indies that have been available as demos as part of the Steam Summer Festival. They've been playing an awful lot of them and share their favourites. Our hands-on this week? Well *cough*, Exo One, Haven, InMost, Windjammers 2, Fights In Tight Spaces, Moncage, Children of Silent Town, Imagine Lifetimes, Nine Lives Noir, Metamorphosis, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter, Nuts, 100 Days, Waking, Spellbreak, Behold The Kickmen, Fortnite Season 3, Call of Duty WWII, Golf on Mars, Beyond Blue and more. A lot of games. A lot of heated discussion. This is a good one.

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 01:30:03 GMT

PS5 Reveal Event Live Reaction Listenalong

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 22:52:07 GMT

It's here! The PS5 has now been officially revealed by Sony and well, what a beautiful creation it is. To honour this momentous event we've created content we've never made before, a listenalong podcast! 'Well what the hell is a listenalong podcast?' I hear you ask? Well, we wanted to make sure we had a reaction down of the event without trying to bump our way through the crowded live Twitch crowd and so we recorded our reaction instead of broadcasting it live. It allowed us to make this very special podcast and also a reaction video that's coming very soon. How it works? Well, if you find yourself watching the PS5 reveal event all over again you can click play on this episode and have the entire Finger Guns team watching along with you! If you haven't watched it yet and fancy some nerdy reaction, this is the perfect podcast to share in the super mega hype. Let us know what you think! If you like this idea we'll do more, and look out for the next episode of The Finger Guns Podcast for an in-depth analysis of the event in full.

(THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT LANDS AT 9m 42s, make sure you start there to watch along in sync!)

Current-Gen Retrospective | PS5 Reveal Wishlist | SEGA's Surprise Was....Surprising?

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 04:25:30 GMT

This week on a bumper episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Paul, Greg and Toby get together for a current generation retrospective, discussing what's made the last seven years just so exciting in the games industry. We each take a turn to share what has been our favourite moments and take a second to reflect on the big moments between 2013 and right now. What have been our most treasured games? Has there been a major moment that defined the generation? We discuss, it's a pretty awesome segment, if we do say so ourselves. Elsewhere, following its delay we talk the upcoming PS5 Reveal event and share a wishlist of games that we'd like to see, even if some are a reaching just a little bit (yeah we're not gonna see GTA 6, sorry Paul). Do we want to see all new IP or are there classics and major PS4 games we want to see sequels to? Would we like the event to share a little of both? This seems the most likely, but what on earth are they going to be? There's a wishlist we're dying to see and the fact we haven't got a clue what's in store makes it all the more exciting. Are we going to see the console? The box it's coming in? Time will tell. Finally after discussing some rather pie-in-the-sky possibilities for last weeks 'major' SEGA reveal, our balloons are somewhat deflated as we talk about whatever the hell 'fog gaming' is and the weirdness of the Game Gear Micro. Seriously. What the hell, SEGA. Sean also brings us a 'First Line In A Game' Trivia Challenge, with shocking results, and we talk hands-on with the likes of Just Cause 4, Jump King, Carrion, Spirit Oath, Spiritfarer, Do Not Feed The Monkeys, Liberated and much more, including the most anticipated title of them all, Match-Three Puzzler Rune God (don't ask). Finally in honour of the Black Lives Matter movement we share three upcoming indie games from black developers we think you should be keeping your eye on. Enjoy the episode.

What is the SEGA Series X? | PS4-PS5 'Forward' Compatibility | The Case for Star Wars Battlefront II

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 03:56:47 GMT

It's the 60th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast! This week Rossko, Sean, Greg, Toby and Paul dive into the weeks news and what they've been playing for the past seven days. First up we talk how Sony are demanding all games sent to Sony for certification from July 13th must be compatible with the PS5. What does this mean for the PS5 launch line up? Are you ready to upgrade? Will there be enough games from your library ready for the next generation and will they be available? And most importantly, will we be able to play Maneater on it? Let's be honest that's all we really want to do. We also discuss whatever the flippin' heck SEGA are currently up to. There's talk of a 'revolutionary' announcement coming this week, and it's something to do with Xbox? What on earth is the SEGA Series X? Are we going to find out before the next podcast? I mean, yes. Yes we definitely will because that announcement is coming in a few days but whatever it's going to be, we're very excited. Elsewhere as Star Wars Battlefront II get announced as June's second PS Plus game, there's talk that it's not worth playing (even though it's free?). So we put our heads together to come up with reasons why it's very much worth diving into whilst it's available for absolutely nothing at all. Elsewhere Sean sets us an Open World Location Trivia Challenge to see how well we know our massive worlds that we can do whatever we want in. We also talk hands on with Minecraft Dungeons, A Fold Apart, Gunman Clive HD, Fly Punch Boom!, Ys Memories of Celceta, SnowRunner, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Jump King, Just Cause 4 and yes, Greg is back on Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. Some things never change around these parts.

Steve Thornton is here! | #TheSnyderCut Lives! | Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Woes

Mon, 25 May 2020 02:55:04 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the ENTIRE team is here as Rossko, Greg, Sean, Paul and Toby get our heads down with the weeks biggest gaming/nerd culture news and not only that, we have a guest! Joining us is Sperasoft's Steve Thornton who jumps on to talk his previous live at TT Games, his thoughts on Unreal Engine 5 along with his love for the design aesthetics in Doom Eternal and Sekiro, as well as lockdown living in St. Petersburg. We have an extended, fascinating chat with Steve which is well worth diving into. Our Trivia Challenge returns with Sean challenging us with a 3D Platformer quiz, can Toby get a point on the board after last weeks disastrous debut showing? Well, you'll have to listen I suppose. We also talk the obscene asking price of every little piece of Mortal Kombat 11 Kontent (heh) with Greg delivering a passionate retort to NetherRealms business practices. Are they treating the early adopters fairly? Should we really be paying over £100 for every piece of content? We discuss. Finally, well it's The Snyder Cut isn't it. It's actually real and our resident DC fanboy Paul has some thoughts on what it all could mean. Once, y'kno, once it's explained to him what on earth is going on because it's never quite a planet he's ever present upon. What other works of creative endeavour do we want sliced up and remade? It's a fun discusssion. There's a lot to love in this weeks bumper episode, along with thoughts on Maneater, Saints Row The Third Remastered, Forza Street, Rossko's further impressions of Google Stadia and more. RELEASE THE REAL DEXTER ENDING.

Epic's Unreal Engine 5 is incredible | Ghost of Tsushima Gameplay Reaction | Tony Hawk 1+2 Remastered

Mon, 18 May 2020 03:32:16 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we welcome the latest member of the team Toby Andersen for the first time to talk Unreal Engine 5, Ghost of Tsushima and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2! First up we jump deep into the rather tremendous Unreal Engine 5 PS5 demo and what we think it can offer the next generation. When are we going to see the fruits of its labour? Has it convinced us that the next-gen is going to be a genuine step up? After a rather disappointing week from Xbox there appears to still be something truly revolutionary on the way. Following that we talk the Ghost of Tsushima State of Play presentation and just about manage to talk with our jaws still very much dropped. There's still so much to learn about the game but what they've displayed so far is making us very excited. Did you see the wind?! Also, what's up with the soundtrack on this new Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 Remaster? The biggest questions answered. Sean also returns with the Indie Corner to talk Titan Chaser, NYX The Awakening and Sanity of Morris and throws Toby in at the deep end with a video game quote Trivia Challenge and he is not messing around. We also talk hands on with Fury Unleashed, Cloudpunk, Huntdown, Ion Fury, What The Golf?, Telling Lies, Music Racer (great title), The Wonderful 101 Remastered, NBA 2K20 on Stadia and a whole bunch more. SO MANY GAMES. Enjoy the episode, friends. Titan Chaser - @stasshostakNYX The Awakening - @nyxtheawakeningSanity of Morris - Facebook

PlayStation's Next Move After Xbox's Poor Week | Is Mafia 4 incoming? | The Last of Us Part II Trailer Talk

Mon, 11 May 2020 02:48:15 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Paul delve into the weeks gaming news, primarily the fallout of Xbox's lukewarm Gameplay Showcase. What was needed to really make it sing? Are Microsoft destined to make the same mistakes as the last generation? And what does this mean for PlayStation's future marketing for PS5? Will they hold back or pick up the pieces with a showcase of their own? Time will tell, there are excellent points made by Sean and Paul in this conversation so it's well worth a listen. Elsewhere a new Prince of Persia game was revealed! Well, kind of. We dust off our sands of time to decipher what the cancellation of Redemption meant for Ubisoft's subsequent output. Also, what is the Mafia Twitter account teasing? With a delightfully vague tweet tongues were certainly wagging as to what's next for the crime series and we try to figure out what it could all mean. We also discover that Paul forgot he watched the new Last of Us 2 trailer this week when we attempt to ask him about it. We also talk hands-on with Arcade Spirits, Sean *finally* starting Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Rossko jumping back into The Last of Us and The Eternal Castle Remastered, the shiny new version of a game that never existed. Finally, Sean returns with another 'name-that-game-by-the-character-list' Trivia Challenge, Paul tells us about his Game of the Year So Far, Rossko tries to explain the wonders of colonialism in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Yeah, you're going to want to listen to understand that statement.... | Theme Music – Don’t Feel (So Low) – Mid-Air Machine. | Indie Corner Jingle written and produced by Sarah Finney | Podcast Edited and Produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.

Xbox Series X Gameplay Showcase Reaction Special

Fri, 08 May 2020 01:07:26 GMT

Rossko, Sean and Greg join forces once again to dissect the Xbox Series X Gameplay Showcase, where a bunch of third-party partners revealed their new titles, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla (was it gameplay? Or was it gameplay? This will make sense...maybe..), Dirt 5, The Ascent, The Medium, Call of the Sea, Bright Memory Infinite, Scorn and many more. We talk our the games we're looking forward to the most (and the least), along with whether or not Xbox really delivered on the whole 'gameplay' aspect of the event. Did we really see enough to convince us the system will be worth picking up at launch? Or was it just a way to keep those already in the Xbox ecosystem without wanting to attract anyone else? There's a fair bit to discuss, along with looking at the games first announced Smart Delivery games (ie the ones you can carry from Xbox One to Xbox Series X). Finally, let's just say if you want to hear Sean GO OFF on Assassin's Creed Valhalla, well you've come to the right place. It's biblical. One more thing, the intro music is the official Xbox Series X boot up sound. You're welcome. DETAILS.

Games of The Year (So Far) | Assassin's Creed Valhalla Reaction | Xbox Series X Showcase Predictions

Mon, 04 May 2020 02:43:52 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Greg celebrate three years of Finger Guns! It's our birthday and we're gonna do whatever the hell we want, and whatever the hell we want to do is record a podcast, apparently. So here it is! This week we talk our favourite games of the year so far, and look forward to what's ahead with The Last of Us Part II and Ghosts of Tsushima getting new release dates. We also talk our reaction to that rather stonking Assassin's Creed Valhalla reveal trailer and one crucial change we'd add to make it even better. Are we on board for more 'Creed That Isn't Creed'? We discuss. Elsewhere we talk what we could be seeing at this weeks Xbox Series X Gameplay Showcase along with our own hopes for the event, Greg talks continuing his playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake and jumping back into L.A. Noire, Rossko talks his ongoing adventures with Google Stadia along with Streets of Rage 4 and Moving Out while Sean talks us through every single game he's played this week(!), including Z, Warborn, Ghost Sweeper and Deliver Us The Moon. Finally Sean returns to the quizmaster hotseat for this weeks Activision themed Trivia Challenge and brings us a shiny new Indie Corner full of gems you won't want to miss. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! Enjoy the episode.

Horizon Zero Dawn Trilogy? | That Xbox Series X logo... | Snowrunner Impressions

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 01:36:41 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Greg and Paul attempt to work their way through the weeks news, of which there was very little. Horizon Zero Dawn may become a trilogy according to reports this week, what would we want from them? Will Aloy fit in well in a new setting and what does this mean for the possibility of future Killzone titles? We discuss. Also Paul shares his design expertise in regards to the leaked Xbox Series X logo. Is it good? Is it bad? We ask the man himself to talk us through the thinking around the concept. Elsewhere Paul steps up to the quizmaster's chair this week with a quiz so unfathomably difficult Greg and Rossko are genuinely worried it may harm their credibility. We also talk Snowrunner impressions and Greg's continuing thoughts on Final Fantasy VII Remake. Rossko also talks hands-on with Team17's new party game Moving Out along with Fortnite's incredible Astronomical event, along with updating us on this ongoing adventures with Animal Crossing New Horizons. We also talk meeting celebrities and which ones were dicks, along with having a competition on who has had the worst medical emergency in their lifetime. Hey, it's been a quiet week, ok?

Do We Want A PlayStation Robot Buddy? | PS5 launch shortages | Crysis Remastered

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 01:58:33 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the gang are back together once again to talk through the weeks news such as the possibility of PlayStation 5 launch unit shortages. Are we even ready for next-gen? We discuss the effect of Coronavirus on year-end release dates and if we should expect Sony to bump up the price to cover what's under the hood. It's all rather worrying. We also stick with Sony to talk their utterly bizarre patent that was recently discovered showcasing a physical AI robot companion that will play video games with you and tell you when to go to bed. Yeah, that's an actual thing that Sony has either once considered or will move forward with into the next generation. You should probably take a listen to our NSFW impressions on this really rather terrifying patent. We also talk the upcoming Crysis remaster for Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch(?!). Finally Greg and Sean pay tribute to Paul Haddad, the voice of Leon S Kennedy in Resident Evil 2, who passed away this week. Sean also puts our Mega Drive knowledge to the test in this weeks Trivia Challenge. We also talk our continuing adventures with Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Inner Friend, Animal Crossing New Horizons and a bunch of games that we're all playing that we can't currently talk about. Yeah, it's not hugely informative. That's the Finger Guns Guarantee! Hope you enjoy the episode, see you next week!

Resident Evil 4 Remake Is Happening | PS5 Controller Reactions | Final Fantasy VII Remake Impressions

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 09:37:56 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast technical issues batter our productivity as four becomes two in the space of a few minutes. The survivors, Rossko and Sean, take it upon themselves to tear through the weeks news featuring confirmation-ish of the expected Resident Evil 4 Remake and whether or not it's the correct choice in the series to get the shiny Capcom remake gold dust sprinkled upon it. We also take a deep dive into the PlayStation 5 controller DualSense. Do we like the look of it? Is there more to it than meets the eye? What can it tell us about the design of the console? We delve into these questions and a whole load more regarding Sony's slow dripfeed of information in regards to its new console. Elsewhere we talk some substantial updates coming to Streets of Rage 4 and of course, share our spoiler free impressions of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. There's an awful lot to discuss but we keep it as spoiler-free as we can. Oh, it's so good isn't it? Finally Sean tests Rossko and only Rossko on a fiendish Assassin's Creed Trivia Challenge. Will Rossko prevail? I mean, he's the only one playing so yeah...yeah he does. It's pretty damn spectacular how he makes it happen, though. There's also Hands-On with Null Drifter, Snakeybus, Biped, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Greg's continuing adventures with Resident Evil 3 on the hunt for that Platinum, Construction Simulator 3 Console Edition, Save Your Nuts and Rossko talks his first ever in-home experience with Google Stadia. You might be surprised to hear what he thinks. Enjoy, all you crazy cats and kittens.

James Parker from Ground Shatter is here! | Covid-19 Delays The Last of Us Part II | BAFTA Games 2020 Winners

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 04:25:17 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we are joined by James Parker, head honcho of Ground Shatter (Rico, Skyscrappers)! We go deep into their exciting new game, deck-building fighter Fights In Tight Spaces and talk about Rossko and Sean's love of RICO, along with how Ground Shatter are dealing with developing a new game whilst self-isolating and most importantly. James' official ranking of the Fast and Furious franchise. We also discuss how a virus outbreak has officially delayed the sequel to the biggest game ever about a virus outbreak and most distressingly, the horrendous backlash from a community of 'gamers'. Ugh. The BAFTA Games Awards were also this week so we go into the winners and discuss if they were the worthy victors. What else would we have liked to have seen win? We discuss. Greg also talks playing and finishing Resident Evil 3 (you may have heard him mention it before?) and restarting Nier: Automata. Paul talks jumping back into Far Cry 5 and James shares his thoughts on Lair of the Clockwork God and Call of Duty's latest royale, Warzone. There's also hands-on impressions with In Other Waters, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, Futurlab's Powerwash Simulator, Real Heroes Firefighters, The Complex, playing as Deadpool in Fortnite and Animal Crossing New Horizons. Damn those eggs. DAMN. THOSE. EGGS. Stay safe. Stay home. Enjoy the podcast. Love Finger Guns.

Numskull's Ryan Brown is here! | Final Fantasy VII / Resi 3 physical delay updates | Epic Games groundbreaking deal

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 03:46:39 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast we're delighted to be joined by Numskull's PR Manager Ryan Brown (@toadsanime) who talks to us the Numskull's shiny game publishing corner Numskull Games and how he made the jump from games journalism to PR for one of the biggest video game merchandise companies on earth. We also say the word Tubbz an awful lot and we talk his Luigi memorial in Animal Crossing, it's quite the harrowing story. It's a fun chat. Elsewhere deep dive into the worlds problems and worry very much only on the upcoming slate of game releases and if we're going to see them at all - the gamers are the real losers here, guys - following the possible physical copy delay of Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Where do pre-orders at retail stores end up? Will they be honoured? We try to decode. The biggest story of the week though goes to Epic Games and their groundbreaking publishing deal for Remedy, Playdead and Gen Design. Will it encourage other publishing wings to step up their financial commitment to developers? Sean weighs in on the subject with a mighty aplomb, there's plenty to discuss.

PS5 Specs Revealed! | Physical FFVII Remake Copies Delayed? | Nintendo Indie World Reaction

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 05:08:12 GMT

WE DID IT! It's the 50th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast and to celebrate we've got the whole gang together to try and make sense of the utterly batshit crazy week the world has bestowed upon us. We talk all about how the world's current rather scary predicament and its ripples across the games industry. Are we going to see delays to the physical copies of Final Fantasy VII Remake? We weigh up the options. Elsewhere we talk some of our favourite reveals from the Nintendo Indie World Presentation (Take a nose below for trailer links!) and we attempt to make sense of whatever it was Sony was talking about at the PlayStation 5 Tech Showcase event. It sure was something, eh? We also talk hands-on with Animal Crossing New Horizons, DOOM Eternal along with brief mentions of upcoming reviews, featuring Moons of Madness, Gigantosaurus The Game and Saints Row IV on the Switch. ALSO: SEEGA?! It gets dramatic. Would it really be The Finger Guns Podcast if it didn't? Here's to another fifty more! | INDIE WORLD TRAILERS / I AM DEAD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrZAbLYgu5Q) | SUMMER IN MARA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8BOEQ-0-1o) | QUANTUM LEAGUE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vo_unudqTI) | THE GOOD LIFE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U96Mu5_d5uQ) | ELDEST SOULS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U96Mu5_d5uQ) | EXIT THE GUNGEON (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgJaqr2CTdc) | THE LAST CAMPFIRE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1J2aMdFeRw) //

E3 2020 Cancelled | Naughty Dog Crunch | Is Silent Hills Returning?

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 05:36:33 GMT

This week Paul, Sean, Greg and Rossko tear through the weeks massive gaming news once again, with a hint of snark and a dollop of wisdom. Maybe. First up we look at the cancellation of E3 2020 and what it could mean for the future of the event. Will it come back at all next year? Should it just go digital and save damn near everyone the hassle of putting on the exhibition at all and does it really affect the people at home? All those questions pondered and dissected. We also look into the recent reports of some pretty brutal crunch over at Naughty Dog ahead of The Last of Us Part II's upcoming release and ask if it's ever a good idea. There's some differing thoughts regarding this and is well worth a listen. Sean also decides to get his rage on towards the PlayStation fanboys who smashed up their consoles regarding Horizon Zero Dawn coming to PC. He's not happy and nor should he be, you get what's coming to you GAMERS. Finally, Greg and Paul get excited about the possibility of Silent Hills returning with Kojima at the helm and we murder 'KeiferGate' once and for all. In Sean's indie corner we talk Orbitals and BFF Or Die, along with [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Yeah, that one is very exciting. There's also a Grand Theft Auto Trivia Challenge. How far back does your knowledge of the biggest game franchise of all time go? Have a listen and find out. Enjoy the episode, see you for Ep.50!

The PS2 Turns 20! | Final Fantasy VII Remake Hands-On | The Last of Us TV Series Hopes and Concerns

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 04:25:53 GMT

This week on a jam-packed episode Rossko, Sean and Greg delve into the bevy of the weeks news including celebrating the iconic PlayStation 2's 20th Birthday. We reminisce our favourite memories of the console and the lasting legacy it still has to this day as the highest-selling console of all time. We also delve into every single BAFTA Games Awards nomination and what we'd like to win from each category (A Plague Tale with only one nomination? Give me a break, BAFTA...). We also talk our hopes and dreams and concerns about the recently announced 'The Last of Us' TV series from HBO and who we would cast as Joel and Ellie, with absolutely no sign of Hugh Jackman anywhere near it, thank goodness. Also Ghost of Tsushima finally got itself a release date. Are we actually excited for it though in the midst of the major releases to come this year? We discuss. Also, Sean has set perhaps the most fiendish, downright evil and disgracefully unfair Trivia Challenge the podcast has ever seen. Probably. It was designed to expose our frailties, which is just mean, tbh. We also talk hands-on with The Hunt: Showdown, Overpass, Wunderling on Switch, Two Point Hospital, Holfraine, The Division 2's brand new expansion Warlords of New York and a video game called Final Fantasy VII Remake? You've probably heard of it, well we talk about playing it and if we can contain our excitement for April 10th. Note: We can't. Give it to us right now. Finally Sean's Indie Corner delves into Dangerous Driving 2, Skate Story (http://www.twitter.com/skatestorygame), Ghost Runner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2zgVn_ECkU) and Sai (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCAMvdv02Gs). Ah, video games are cool. Enjoy the episode!

GDC 2020 Postponed | Xbox Keep Crushing It | A Back To The Future Remake?!

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 04:53:51 GMT

With Sean having a well deserved week off, Rossko, Greg and Paul jump into the weeks news and it all goes about as well as you'd expect when the grownup isn't around to keep us all in check. Still, we give a damn good go at talking about the ramifications of GDC's postponement and what it could mean for future events this year across the globe. Are we going to see more cancellations thanks to the possible spread of the Coronavirus? We try and take a stab from the exhibitors and consumers point of view, with surprisingly good results. Elsewhere Xbox have been waving their massive dick around again regarding cross-gen updates for their upcoming Series X platform and we talk teraflops and if it really means anything in the long run. Paul and Greg also get a little heated in regards to the timeline of the Terminator movies when we were supposed to be talking about the possibility of a Tom Holland fronted Back to the Future remake and Keifer Sutherland's name gets dragged back into our podcast kicking and screaming. It's all terribly dramatic. We also look ahead to this months big releases and see which ones we're particularly looking forward to, along with discussing how really rather good March's Games with Gold and PS Plus offerings are. You want more? Course you do! We also talk hands on with The Hunt: Showdown, Two Point Hospital on PS4, Greg talks his early experiences with A Plague Tale: Innocence and jumping back into Bioshock Infinite. We're gonna need you back soon, Sean. The inmates have burned down the asylum and are now arguing about Skynet on its ashes.

What's The Next Mini-Console? | PSVR 2 Controller? | Our Favourite VO Performances

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 04:00:18 GMT

HOLD UP: Before you go anywhere, just a quick heads up that Rossko's audio is, well, borked this week due to reasons we explain on the pod. Don't be alarmed by the rather scrappy quality, it's a one time thing and won't happen again. This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Greg get down and dirty with the latest gaming news and we discuss the latest PSVR controller patent doing the rounds and whether or not we see it as a possible improvement upon the current Move controllers. PUBG and Black Desert has gone and got itself Cross-Play and we are very happy about it. Elsewhere there's a deep dive into the 'Mini Console' phenomenon and what possible systems are still to come in this rather niche console space (Also, worth listening out for Greg's live discovery of the Wii Mini's existence). We also choose our favourite video game performances over the years from the likes of Metal Gear Solid, Firewatch, Assassin's Creed and Telltale's Batman. Sean's Indie Corner also returns with a look at the return of Alien Hominid, Pumpkin Jack and Megacopter. Also, what have we been playing? Greg talks hands on with The Hunt: Showdown, One Finger Death Punch 2, The Division 2 and returning to Bioshock Infinite. Sean talks Daggerhood, Noir Case Files, 7th Sector, Claybook and the lovely looking Draugen whilst Rossko has been exclusively streaming via PS4 Remote Play and xCloud, checking out Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 and Descenders on xCloud. Oh, and Sean takes the team back to 2010 for a Trivia Challenge with far less drama than last week's utter pandemonium. How much do you remember about 2010's gaming output? Test your metal against Greg and Rossko. We're pretty sure you'll do fine. No really. Look who you're up against.

Anthem 2.0! | Remedy's Secret Project Speculation | PS5 Price Concerns

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 04:59:42 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast the gang are back together with Rossko, Sean, Greg and Paul taking a stab at the weeks news featuring a deep dive into what on earth Anthem 2.0 might be and if any significant changes to the game will be enough to bring back Paul, who if you're a long term listener knows he's not particularly a fan of. The rest of them team attempt to try and see the positives, who knows if it works? We also have some fun speculating just what on earth Remedy's secret project is. We know it's not a new IP, so which of their back catalogue are they bringing back to life? Max Payne? Alan Wake? Quantum Break? We have no idea, but it's so much fun trying to work it out. We also get into the PlayStation 5 manufacturing cost and whether or not that may spell trouble for the upcoming consoles eventual launch price. Are we right to be a little concerned? Sean, being The Knowledge, tries to reassure the rest of us that everything will be ok. Maybe. Rossko also talks briefly about his experience with the Sonic The Hedgehog movie (you can read his full review here - https://bit.ly/2HuF2FJ) along with his first impressions of the full Dreams release. We also talk hands-on with, Code Vein, L.A. Noire, 7th Sector and the team talk jumping back into The Division 2 after this weeks news of a massive content drop. Finally there's a 'Celebrities in Video Games' Trivia Challenge which ends about exactly the way you've now come to expect from The Finger Guns Podcast. There's *so* much Kiefer Sutherland drama. Way more than you've ever seen anywhere else. Buckle up.

Sony's Scary PS5 Patent | EA and Acti Remasters | Resident Evil Quiz

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 00:48:25 GMT

Where did everybody go? It's just Greg and Sean this week as they partake in what can only be described as a "Joey heavy episode of Friends" version of the Finger Guns Podcast. The dynamic duo give impressions on Code Vein, Zombie Army 4, 7th Sector, 1 Finger Death Punch 2 and yet more Skyrim before talking about some of the hot topics of the week - EA and Activision are doing *more* remasters, Sony have made a mildly concerning patent and Phil Spencer says things that get taken out of context. Again.

All of this is topped off by a new instalment of the indie corner, a quiz dedicated entirely to Resident Evil in Greg's honour and a round up of all the gaming releases coming out this week.

Switch outsells Xbox One | The Perfect Superman Game | The Wonderful 101 Returns?

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 05:43:37 GMT

In this weeks jam packed Finger Guns Podcast Sean, Paul and Rossko dissect the weeks news including all the major tidbits from Nintendo's Investors Conference Call including why there won't be a Switch Pro this year and the Switch outselling Xbox One. We also discuss The Outer Worlds upcoming release for the handheld hybrid which includes a physical box but no cartridge? Interesting. We also get deep into the GDC developers survey and find some surprising indifference towards the Xbox Series X with the PS5 gaining the majority console focus. We also jump headfirst into the rumour mill with Platinum Games' potential The Wonderful 101 Switch and PS4 remakes. You want more? Well we share a roundtable discussion regarding what could make the perfect Superman game, with Paul leading the charge the return of the Man of Steel onto our consoles. But how? And why can't any developer seem to get him correct? Sean also gets us all very patriotic with a *tough* British developer Trivia Challenge and his Indie Corner also makes a return, pointing you in the direction of Skathe, a fascinating untitled game from 3rd Shift Studio (http://www.twitter.com/3rdshiftstudio) and Red Thread Games *amazing* looking detective noir story Draugen. We also talk hands-on with Sisters Royale, Journey to the Savage Planet (single player and co-op), the Disintegration Beta, Not Tonight on Switch, Monster Energy Supercross 3 and Sean jumps back into Skyrim. There's also singalongs, arguments and a surprisingly good Stallone impression. So, a typical episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, then?

(Quick heads up, there's a little bit of audio cackling at the beginning of the Superman segment. We've done our best to remove the majority though some may remain due to not wanting to cut out discussion related to the topic).

Cyberpunk Not Working on OG X1 and PS4? | New Silent Hill(s) | Nintendo in Court

Mon, 27 Jan 2020 04:06:30 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Paul cover the weeks biggest news including a deep dive into the real reason behind the Cyberpunk 2077 delay. Can your OG Xbox One and PS4 handle the game? It would seem CD Projekt Red have had to take the time to make sure it runs at all on the original systems. Sean and Paul go back and forth on whether or not it should have just launched on next-gen and skipped this generation entirely. Elsewhere we jump into a little bit of breaking news including Konami possibly working on two new Silent Hill titles and what they could offer. Do people really trust Konami products anymore? We also look into Nintendo's recent victorious lawsuit in regards to their eShop Pre-Order policy. Should it really be illegal to cancel pre-orders if you need to? This episode also signals the return of Sean's Indie Corner, as he takes a brief look at four upcoming indie games you should be keeping an eye on, including the brilliant looking Wavey the Rocket. We also have a Trivia Challenge that focuses on the game releases of 2012 and we talk hands on with Destiny 2 and Halo on xCloud, Paul continues his original Shenmue playthrough, Sean shares his latest Platinum and Rossko jumps into his backlog to finally start The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Order 1886. We also talk The Witcher Netflix series and the first episode of Star Trek Picard on Amazon Prime! Phew!Theme Music - Don't Feel (So Low) - Mid-Air Machine.

This week on episode 41 of The Finger Guns Podcast we're joined by Cave Monsters' Charlotte Sutherland to talk Lord Winklebottom Investigates, our highly anticipated point and click adventure game where you play as a giraffe detective solving murders. Yes, we know, it's about as brilliant as it sounds. We also talk to Charlotte about events, the games two Kickstarters, her history in the AAA industry and what's still to come for the games development. It's a little way off, but it's hugely exciting. Elsewhere the team weigh in on Sony's recent E3-skipping confirmation and what that means for PS5, Xbox and E3 as a whole. We also get into this weeks delaypocalypse with four big titles getting the boot to a little later in the year, whether or not Ready at Dawn are getting ready to bring us a sequel to The Order: 1886 and if Sony are anti-consumer (spoiler; they're not). We also talk hands on with Darwin Project, Cuisine Royale, Greg jumps back into The Surge 2, Paul shares his late to the party thoughts on PlayStation Now and Ross talks No More Robot's Brexit sim Not Tonight on the Switch.

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 08:49:28 GMT

The Finger Guns Podcast returns with a shiny new episode featuring Adam Boyne from Beta Jester, who stops by to talk about their terrific looking Forgotten Sea, along with how one can squeeze 1300 hours out of Rocket League and his once a year venture back into No Man's Sky. It's a fun chat regarding indie development, you're going to want to check it out. Also on this episode we get confused and annoyed with WB Montreal in regards to their teasing of the upcoming Batman that we all already know about, along with what we'd like to see from a brand new Batman game. We also talk about the PlayStation Blog Games of the Decade list and if we'd make any changes (we would), and also...well, is The Last of Us really the Best Game of the Decade? We talk it out. We also talk finally trashing Mario Kart Tour into the garbage can of gaming history along with jumping into Dreams once again to find some of the fantastic creations available on there. Also Greg jumps back into Rainbow Six Siege, with hilarious results.

Mon, 06 Jan 2020 12:02:36 GMT

We're back! The first Finger Guns Podcast of 2020 is now live for your earholes and well, we've decided to start the year off with some fanboy baiting, because why not cause a little chaos in this messed up society eh. First up Sean lays it all on the line by throwing down a battle royale of the ages - just who has the better studios in the run up to the next generation - Sony or Microsoft? Friendships are put on this line before you can even say 'it doesn't matter, man. Games are fun'. We dissect all the games we know about from each studio to see which may come out on top in the run up to this years massive clash of the titans, the Series X and PS5. Ooft, it's exciting. Elsewhere we talk the leaked specifications of the PS5 to see if can stack up to Microsoft's tower that isn't a tower and if developers will flock to either power or popularity. Elsewhere Respawn legend Vince Zampella has joined DICE to oversee a brand new studio and we're very exciting to see what they're going to come up with. We also talk the games we've been playing over the Christmas/New Year period (essentially jumping into backlogs, as is tradition) and Sean refreshes our memory for upcoming releases in a brand new Trivia Challenge. It's a new season of quizzes so everyone's overall scores are back down to zero. Who's going to come out on top? You'll have to listen to find out. Good to be back!

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 12:27:26 GMT

In our final episode of 2019, Rossko, Greg and Sean get into the reveals from The Game Awards, along with our initial thoughts on the Xbox Series X reveal. Is it a console? Is it a PC? We try and work out the middle ground between the two and if it's the right direction for Xbox to be moving in. We also get rather deep into the many trailers revealed and we jump back into our gaming history by sharing some Christmas Day Video Game stories for the ages, and how important the industry has been to making some rather brilliant festive memories. Along with that Rossko talks impressions of the Fortnite Star Wars Event, Greg has completed another AAA megaton and Sean declares his love for TellTale Games and Dead End Job (again). Enjoy!

Phil Spencer Refutes Xbox VR | Stadia is still trash? | Christmas Gift Guide | Marvel Trivia Challenge

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 11:59:21 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Greg, Sean and Rossko talk everything VR and Xbox, including Phil Spencer's dismissal of VR coming to Scarlett along with Shuhei Yoshida's response. We then talk if we even want Microsoft to embrace the technology at all and rather just stick to their guns and make a straight up games console with no bells and whistles. Elsewhere we discuss the rather awful Stadia launch, along with a deep dive into their rather unfortunate forced refunds, just two weeks after launch. Yikes. Elsewhere we talk you through the Games with Gold and PS Plus games for December (just play Titanfall 2, ok?) and also get into their Christmas spirit by sharing our recommendations on what to pick up as a gift for the gaming enthusiast in your life. We also get back to basics by describing the difference between each system iteration and whether or not they're worth your time. Yes, most of you already know this but hey, we're just trying to help you know? We're nice like that. Sean also tests our Marvel games knowledge with another fiendish trivia challenge. Finally, we talk hands-on impressions with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Shenmue III, Football Manager 2020, Death Stranding and something called Dead-End Job? Never heard of it.Theme Music - Don't Feel (So Low) - Mid-Air Machine.

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 02:36:01 GMT

Ross gets happier. Sean breaks up and down. Greg doesn't like bonus points. Paul says Anthem without rage in his voice. In between the battle with our personal demons, we manage to fill this weeks episode of the Finger Guns podcast with talk on games like Terminator: Resistance, Shenmue 3, Death Stranding and... Cal Cake-Tin? We chat the possibility of a remake of Resident Evil 3, the details which make Silent Hills an even more painful cancellation, a collective shrug for Half-Life Alyx, our nods for The Game Awards and some breaking news tidbits.

All of this is topped off with a quiz all about video game music.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Impressions | Stadia is half-baked trash | The Toxicity of Pokemon Fans

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:03:31 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko and Sean go deep on their thoughts on Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, discussing everything from the story to the really rather brilliant BD-1. We also discuss where you can find that rather tantalising double lightsaber. Greg then joins us for the news as we talk just where the hell the promotion for Google's upcoming great big hope, Google Stadia. Also, why is it launching with all the features that makes it interesting to gamers? Like, literally all of them?! As the interest in Stadia has really quite shut down, is there a future for a system that's already rather poor out of the gate? We all talk the redesigned Sonic the Hedgehog for his upcoming movie and weirdly, we all think it looks pretty good. Finally Gamefreak has had a rough week as they've been accused of lying to their players. Naturally, the internet exploded and Sean goes on a heady rant to those attacking the developers. You won't want to miss it. You also get your very own quiz as there aren't enough players on the podcast to take it on. Plus there are hands-on impressions of Battle Breakers, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and the Fortnite Chapter 2 Battle Pass endgame.

X019 Reaction Special

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 12:47:22 GMT

Rossko, Greg and Sean got together directly after Microsoft's X019 conference in London to discuss every single announcement, delving into the nitty gritty of each reveal and what it could mean for the future of the House of Green. Greg even gets excited about something! Take a listen for our take on all the upcoming games announced, along with massive Project xCloud updates and yet more reasons to get yourself a Game Pass subscription. The future is bright for Xbox, but is there enough to jump on right now rather than holding off for this time next year? We discuss. This reaction special has been sliced out of next week's main podcast, so make sure you keep an eye out for that one coming on Monday. X GON' GIVE IT T'YA.

Death Stranding Impressions | Hands-On With Capcom Home Arcade | Big PlayStation Changes

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 05:42:52 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Greg is in a rather fine mood as Death Stranding landed on his doorstep. He talks us through the first two hours of gameplay and whether or not he still has any idea what's going on. He also takes questions from Rossko and Sean who haven't played it and want to know everything. Yeah, even Rossko. We also grill Greg on his trip to London town to play Capcom's upcoming Home Arcade system, and whether or not it's worth its rather steep asking price. We talk the very exciting new role for Shuhei Yoshida at PlayStation. Sean is very excited and goes in-depth on what we could see from the indie output on PS5. Finally there's a Wild West Video Games themed Trivia Challenge and Mad Dog McCree gets mentioned. It's a wonderful moment.

In Celebration of the PS4 | Games To Look Forward to Before 2020 | Best Horror Games

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 07:02:44 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is back together to discuss the weeks happenings in the gaming world. The team reminisce on PS4 memories as the system becomes the second biggest selling console of all time, what we love about the console and why we all decided to grab one at launch instead of Microsoft's 2013 offering along with why, away from the exclusives, we think the system has just done so damn well this generation. We also choose our most anticipated games to be released before the end of the year and given that we recorded this episode on Halloween, we tackle our favourite horror games from history and try and come up with the ultimate scary game (spoiler; we don't). We also dig into just what on earth the remake masters Bluepoint Games are tweeting about and give a nod of approval to 3 Minutes to Midnight, a fantastic point-and-click adventure game that cleared its Kickstarter funding goal whilst we were recording. Finally we talk hands-on with Afterparty, The Outer Worlds, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Children of Morta, Megaquarium and more. Oh, and there's yet more controversy in a Star Wars themed Trivia Challenge.

EGX Post-Show | Boundary Impressions | Fallout First | The Outer Worlds is Awesome

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 13:28:00 GMT

After the madness of our EGX week we're back to normal Podcast duties with Greg, Sean and Rossko in the hotseats to discuss EGX 2019 with some hard-hitting questions from Rossko (kind of). Elsewhere Greg went to play Boundary at the Ukie Studios to let us know why he's so very excited for this one to come out and why the rest of us should be taking this one very seriously. Something we shouldn't be taking seriously is Bethesda's latest very impressive way to shoot Fallout 76 into the sun once and for all with their Fallout First subscription announcement. Goodness do we have some thoughts. Also, Dead End Job has a release date! How very exciting. Oh, and Horizon Zero Dawn coming to VR? A hastily back-pedalled tweet suggests so...Elsewhere Rossko and Greg wax lyrical about The Outer Worlds, with plenty of positive impressions of the games early hours. Oh, it's so good. Plus we talk hands on with Lonely Mountains Downhill, No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again on PS4, Children of Morta, Megaquarium, Return of the Obra Dinn on Switch, Fortnite Chapter 2 impressions (SO MANY BOTS), and *very* brief impressions of Call of Duty's latest iteration Modern Warfare. Finally, the Trivia Challenge is back! Sorry if we've ruined Majora's Mask for you...

Blizzard's Very Bad Week | Fortnite's In The Hole | PS5 Controller | EGX Hype!

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 12:03:26 GMT

This week on the 30th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast the entire gang is back together to talk all the latest in video games (shocker). We delve into the horrible no good very bad week Blizzard have had and wonder if there's any way back for them after their actions were so widely condemned. Have they done enough to earn back the trust and respect of their base? We discuss. Elsewhere Fortnite has turned into a supermassive black hole and Rossko and Sean discuss the reaction and how utterly brilliant Epic's marketing team are. Is there more than meets the eye to this ridiculously cool PR stunt? Will Sean's kids ever be ok again? We also catch up with the latest confirmed PS5 controller details and whilst exciting, we're a little concerned about yet another controller gimmick possibly being passed on by developers. Finally Greg and Sean are off to EGX this week and they're a bit bloomin' excited. Plus we have hands-on impressions of Concrete Genie, John Wick Hex, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020 and Destiny 2: Shadowkeep.

Bully 2 Isn't Happening | House of the Dead Returns | PS Now Price Drop

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 12:57:24 GMT

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast, Greg, Paul and Rossko dissect the weeks news such as Rockstar more or less confirming that Bully 2 - despite the fan outcry that it's a certainty - is almost definitely not happening, and what the means for future single player Rockstar experiences and even if we were ever really excited about it at all. We also long for the days of the light gun with the announcement that House of the Dead is making a triumphant return. How is going to work on consoles without light guns? We debate how they can be utilised on each console. We also deep dive into Sony's recent PlayStation Now price drop, and what it means for the future of the platform. Does it justify its price and can it compete with Xbox Game Pass? We discuss. Also Resident Evil is coming to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Greg is very excited. Finally we talk hands-on with Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Untitled Goose Game, Black Desert and Control, along with some late-to-the-party impressions of Far Cry 5 from Paul. Paul also gets annoyed at a flight of stairs. It's quite something.

Misleading Final Fantasy VII boxart | The Last of Us Part II - No Factions | No Red Dead 2 DLC

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 09:24:26 GMT

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast marks the triumphant return of Mr. Sean Davies alongside Rossko and Greg as they dissect the possible misleading nature of the Final Fantasy VII Remake boxart. This turns into quite the debate from both sides regarding whether or not the episodic nature of the release is actually going to be worth the unexpectedly heavy financial hit its complete form will take. Elsewhere we talk about whether or not any of us give a damn that multiplayer mode Factions has been split off into a standalone game from The Last of Us Part II and Greg shares his thoughts on Rockstar not adding single player DLC to Red Dead Redemption 2. With Sean returning it also means a shiny new Trivia Challenge which in no way whatsoever is completely and utterly bias towards a certain member of the pod team. Not at all. Nuh uh. No siree. Finally we share our impressions of the Ghost Recon Breakpoint Beta, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Surge 2, Mario Kart Tour and Sean's late-to-the-party thoughts on Detroit Become Human. We also talk the Harry Potter stage play. Just because. Theme Music - Don't Feel (So Low) - Mid-Air Machine.

Hands-On With Apple Arcade | Digital Game Pricing | Terminator Resistance

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 09:34:03 GMT

This week on a short and sweet episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Greg, Paul and Rossko talk all about Apple Arcade. Paul gives us a deep dive into a variety of games available, if it's worth the money and whether or not it will appeal to those who aren't really into mobile games. Is the selection varied enough for Paul to keep his subscription after the free trial? I guess we'll find out in a few weeks. Elsewhere we get down and dirty in the murky world of digital game pricing, and try to work out just why games on online storefronts are most always so much more expensive than their physical counterparts. Just how cheap can Paul get Far Cry 5? That is the question. Not only that, but we talk Terminator Resistance after its reveal this week. Greg gets angry about Terminator Genisys again and whilst we came away impressed from the trailer, will it live up to that expectation?

We also talk hands on with FIFA 20, Deadly Premonition Origins, the utterly fantastic Sayanora Wild Hearts, Mutazione, Wreckfest, Monster Hunter World, Bus Simulator (again), FIFA 20, Apple Arcade darling Assemble With Care and more, including pre-embargo non-impressions of The Surge 2 and Yooka-Laylee and The Impossible Lair. We don't talk about Link's Awakening. Rossko forgot to mention he's been playing it all week and is completely in love. We'll catch up with that one next week.

We Went to Nintendo! | Project Resistance | Borderlands 3 Impressions | Tokyo Game Show Recap

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 10:26:08 GMT

This week on the Podcast, Greg and Rossko discuss their rather exciting trip to Nintendo HQ in Windsor along with their thoughts on Zen Studios' Star Wars Pinball. Who nerded out the most? Well, let's be honest, they both did. Elsewhere Greg discusses his thoughts on a new multiplayer Resident Evil game in Project Resistance, along with Paul's concerns (shocker). We also discuss the upcoming Last of Us Part II media event, what we're hoping will be announced and just when on earth the game will be coming out. Sean's date is rather realistic, Paul's hopefully isn't. We also talk what's been revealed from this week's Tokyo Game Show, including more talk on Death Stranding and the Final Fantasy VII Remake, along with catching up with what's being offered in Apple Arcade, is it enough to make us want to jump ship to iOS? Finally there's a massive shock in the Trivia Challenge, changing everything you thought you knew about our weekly quiz. Maybe. We'll see I guess.

There's also hands on impressions of Bus Simulator (yup), the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Multiplayer Beta, WRC 8, Fracter, Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville, Star Wars Pinball and a little indie known as Borderlands 3.

The whole FingerGang (note to self: don't use that term again) gets together for Episode 25 of The Finger Guns Podcast. This week we round up all the news from the latest Nintendo Direct, we discuss the game's that have been cancelled which disappointed us the most and we wade in on the 'ex' vs 'cross' debate regarding that pesky button on a PlayStation controller.

Elsewhere, we give an update on the games we've been playing including Knights & Bikes, Fracter, Monster Hunter Worlds, Final Fantasy VIII Remaster, Plants vs. Zombies - Battle for Neighbourville, Control, Wreckfest, No Man's Sky, Headliner: Novinews and more.

TellTale Reborn | Sony Is Done This Gen | Kinda Funny and Publishers

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 10:33:44 GMT

This week Rossko and Sean welcome our old friend Tim Utley back onto The Finger Guns Podcast to talk the weeks news including the return of TellTale Games and what it really means, debating whether or not it's really going to be the same without the developers who made their games as fantastic as they were. Is there a future for a TellTale that isn't really TellTale? We also dive into just where the bloomin' eck Sony is and if they're wiping their hands of this generation in preparation for what's to come. Are they going to ditch attracting indies to the platform for PS5 much like they have on PS4? Sean argues that they're probably not going to and passionately declares it to be a reason to perhaps not back Sony into the next generation. Elsewhere as Kinda Funny Games take on another paid promotion series we discuss if there's a line that's skewering between an Influencers responsibility to its audience and the almighty dollar. Oh, and we talk our most anticipated games for the month of September along with yet more controversy in the Trivia Challenge. Finally we share our impressions of Remedy's Control (one of us loves it, one of us doesn't), Knights and Bikes, Wreckfest and Bulletstorm on Switch.

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 07:15:21 GMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BATMAN! This week we have a full house with Sean, Paul, Greg and Rossko celebrating ten years of Rocksteady's masterpiece, Batman Arkham Asylum. We discuss what the game meant to us and how it's still impacting gaming today. We also go deep on the latest Ion Fury controversy, this time backtracking on their apology regarding offensive content. Have they caved to Steam reviews in pursuit of their creative vision? We also have a long ol' chat about the D23 Expo and its many wonders, particularly the Marvel and Star Wars announcements, get excited by The Rise of Skywalker footage and debate a certain tidbit of news regarding Spider-Man's place in the MCU. You may have heard about it? Either way, we have differing and surprising takes on this news. We also talk hands-on impressions of Erica, Superhot on Switch, Hamsterdam, Pacific Wings and um, Gears POP. Finally, the Finger Guns Trivia Challenge throws up possibly the most melodramatic conclusion in its short history.Theme Music - Don't Feel (So Low) - Mid-Air Machine.

Sean, Greg and Rossko get together directly after the Gamescom Opening Night Live conference to discuss everything - and we mean literally everything - that was revealed in the two hour show presented by our favourite host, Geoff Keighley. There's also a rather brilliant discussion between Greg and Sean in regards to what is so intriguing about Death Stranding.

We all weigh in on our favourite moments of the event and the games we're most looking too along with a very quick look at the Stadia Connect event and Nintendo's Indie World Direct earlier in the day. Oh, we also get a quick chat into the massive breaking news during the Gamescom ONL; Sony bought Insomniac!There's plenty to get excited about, and plenty to get angry about it would seem, in Rossko's case...yikes.

THQ Nordic Have Gone Crazy | Gamescom | Need For Speed Heat | Kenobi?!

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 08:03:55 GMT

This week Sean, Paul and Rossko dissect just what on earth THQ Nordic have up their sleeve for the next couple of years, what they're not yet telling us and which games we're going to see first out of the gate from their ridiculous IP spending spree. We also jump into what we're most likely to see at Gamescom Opening Night Live from a huge amount of publishers providing brand new announcements along with new content. We also delve into why we're not really all that excited about Need for Speed Heat after that rather mediocre trailer and Sean returns once again with his fiendish Trivia Challenge, but this time it's Sean that wants to kill us, rather than the other way around. I can't think why. We also discuss our hands-on impressions of No Man's Sky VR, Madden NFL 20, Damsel, Sagebrush, Exception and Rossko jumps back into some PS4 Sony exclusives to stress test his shiny new TV. He still doesn't like God of War and it's grounds to have him removed, tbh.

Finally we discuss the rather delicious rumour that Ewan McGregor has got himself signed up for a Disney+ based Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Let the speculation commence!

Also, what did the first person think when they walked past a gravestone? How very confusing.

This week the team kick back and discuss their favourite games and consoles from yesteryear in a one-off Retro Edition of your seventeenth favourite podcast. Sean, Greg, Paul and Rossko go through each generation one by one discussing some fond memories of those classic consoles, from the Amiga 500 all the way to the Dreamcast, stopping only to take part in a Retro Trivia Challenge hosted by Mr. Sean Davies. There's plenty of laughs to be had with some ridiculous stories of gaming in our youth, from nearly-complete Halo saved files being deleted to huddling around a TV playing GoldenEye with our schoolmates. There's also a story about a man with a van turning up at kids houses in Somerset and offering them games to rent for a weekend. It gets weird. Also, did you know Greg was a Resident Evil fan? You sure will by the time this episode is over.

Sean returns with a Video Games 'First Time' Quiz (and gets totally schooled...), Greg gets passionate about Capcom's continuous mistreatment of the Street Fighter fanbase and we get excited for Netflix's The Irishman along with spoiler-free impressions of Amazon Prime's The Boys. As always we discuss what we've been playing, which this week includes a game we definitely can't talk about because it's not real. Not at all.

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 16:00:11 GMT

This week on the latest episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Greg and Paul all weigh in on the GTA Online Diamond Casino controversy with a deep dive into exactly what it's all about, who it may be attempting to target and whether or not Rockstar are being slightly reckless with their microtransactions, balancing out the argument with Paul and Rossko discussing how it's actually quite fun to play if you avoid the casino floor altogether. We also try and decipher whether or not EA are holding a Gamescom press conference and have yet another horrendously difficult (for us, anyway) trivia challenge where we may or may not have completely forgotten some classic video game sound effects.

We also discuss our impressions of Wolfenstein spin-off Youngblood, the frankly terrifying multiplayer adventure The Blackout Club, Horace, Wargroove on PS4 and much more, including video game comfort food (classic games we go back to time and time again, not actual food..Greg). Also, is Dark Ghost really a game? The argument rages on.

We also share our impressions of some #SDCC's non-Marvel trailers including Watchmen, The Witcher, Top Gun Maverick and Star Trek Picard. Not only that, but we somehow find time to squeeze in our thoughts on the Ubisoft/HITRECORD controversy and Sean returns with a bloody fiendish synonym quiz. He's got his own fanfare now, like we're encouraging this dictatorial behaviour.

Finally, there's shock and outrage when Greg learns something horrific about Paul's history with the Wesley Snipes Blade trilogy. It's brutal.
